The Spirit of The Parklands - WHEATFIELD SOULS, #1 - E-book - ePub

Male teenage bullies devise their own application for a pig farm's feed grinder. They delight in showing onlooking young teenage girls how a dead squirrel can disappear in a blink of an eye when dropped into the machine's flailing hammers. In the 1960s small town, chaos hits the Saskatchewan community of Adamsville when one of the fifteen-year-old tough guys suddenly vanishes and leaves a seventeen-year mystery later taken on by an aggressive but corrupt detective.
Two intelligent, bullied and fed-up teenagers with a dying alcoholic for a mentor take control of the ills plaguing their age group in their community. Teenage love and loyalty rule between the two victims of repeated verbal and sexual abuse. Every brand of crazy runs riots in the adult lives of Randy Johnsen, the farm boy with a destructive love of alcohol, and Brenda Croswell, the girl from across the tracks.
Inspired by a collection of true events, the author hopes to offer a look into the often-thought glorious post-war years in the backcountry of nearly anywhere.
