A timely debate on women's rights and abortion. A unique and nostalgic
study of Southern America following World War II. A dramatic
mother/daughter conflict. In The Farm, Olaf "Ollie" Weber, a wounded
Nazi prisoner of war, escapes a POW camp in Tennessee intent on
assassinating President Truman. Ginger "Snaps" Wright accidentally helps
Ollie elude prison guards, and when confronted, he rapes and impregnates
the wannabe actress, who must then choose between Hollywood and
motherhood. Finally, after years of shortages and suffering, it's time
to dream big, and the Wright family, "Snaps," her mother Mary Lou,
Uncle, and sisters Millie and Anne face tumultuous societal and economic
changes. But the family must also grieve the loss of Millie's hero
husband, Stanley, and help her find a way to find new meaning in her
life. A battlefield medic, Stanley was one of the eighty-four victims of
the Nazi war crime; the Massacre at Malmedy. The Farm is an exciting
new story from the author of the critically acclaimed literary
historical novel Gettysburg by Morning.
