Produktbeschreibung

In the backdrop of the South in the 1940s, Eve, a mixed race girl in the deep country, has a not-so-memorable past and a less-than-hopeful future. Living with Mae Evelyn, her neglectful mother and Bear, her malevolent stepfather, Eve is forced to suffer physical indignities and abuses, in order to carry out the domestic duties, of which she is solely responsible. When Bear observes her having to put down the family cow, her courage and sorrow unexpectedly softens him towards her, allowing him to see the woman she is becoming. Hoping for a chance at autonomy, Eve attempts to work with her mother at the local courthouse, but winds up incurring the elder's wrath, as Eve's no nonsense personality ignites the interest of the hiring boss, Judge Latham Honeycutt. In a torrent of discovery, the slow burning embers of real love cause Eve to flee from her abusive home, running into the arms of uncertainty, where at every turn she guards herself against the fury of her mother, the uncertainty of her employer and the outright hatred from the society in which she lives.

Autorenporträt

Sidra Owens was a writer, to greater and lesser degrees, for most of her pre-college education. Displaying all the stubborn presumptions that accompanies young adulthood, she ran from her natural calling, leaping head long into the analytics of the biological and chemical sciences, and falling squarely on her face with a resounding thud. Setting aside secondary education, she expanded her artistic horizons and her storytelling expertise through experimentation with tabletop and verbal role play, allowing her to master the ability to develop characters, their motives and the worlds where they dwell. With Wildflowers being her second published work, she demonstrates the abilities she has honed since leaving college. Having returned to secondary education and obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Behavioral and Social Science, she will be able to add greater historical and sociological depths to the characters that are clamoring for their stories to be told.
