Synopsis:

Chad, an aspiring writer who is teaching school until he lands a publishing contract, and his wife, Nora, who is working as a home nurse for a retired minister are, like most people these days, struggling financially.  Nora is approached by her employer with a proposition that could make their dream of a home in Vermont a reality.  But will it be worth the moral consequences?

For you all wondering where to get this, I bought the hardback copy of "Blockade Billy" through books-a-million online. Morality was included in the book. Interesting concept of a story, seemed a bit piecemeal for my taste really; I was expecting a novel with 'blockade', so I was disappointed at the length of the writing to begin with. It really seemed like there was more to morality....I mean, their marriage and lives tore up because she punched a 4 year old? Really? And the old man, Winnie, commits suicide over this, a former priest or deacon or something...trying to sin vicariously. This was an interesting concept that wasn't fully formed, but "morality" is the issue I suppose...

This was a great story. It shows that the real horror does not come from the outside but with in the human condition. I wrote about it in my blog. I also liked last year's "The Gingerbread Girl".
