It
was the ugliest photo he had ever seen.
And
nothing would be the same again.
As
the inhabitants of Cloverdale, Oregon, welcomed in the twentieth
century, they were not unaccustomed to hard times and thorny
situations. Small communities banded together for protection and
hope. Heroes and villains were often difficult to decipher.
When
an itinerate Baptist preacher arrived with his baby daughter and a
wife lost on the trail, there was no one prepared to suspect what
lurid secrets and heartbreak he might be concealing. As the preacher
sets his sights against those who might oppose him, the names and the
lives of the good people of Cloverdale may not be spared.
Yet
in the midst of the machinations of a mad man, virtue and valor can
persist. The Thing with Feathers is known to fly through wars,
depressions, and natural disasters. Will the Marshall clan and the
good people of Cloverdale find it in time?
Excerpt:
“Seems
she don’t much care for song leaders neither.” The musician
reached for another piece of the pie.
“On
the contrary.” Preacher Bowman gave the man a knowing look.
“Serious?
Naw. Pull my other leg, it has bells on!” he’d told him.
“I
never knew a young girl who didn’t attempt to lure a man she’s
interested in away from the prying eyes of her father.” The
preacher pushed his platter away from himself and smiled. “You’ll
probably be wanting your payment now. I believe I promised you better
pay than you’ve ever had before. Well, my man, it waits for you in
the canning shed out back.” Bowman nodded his head toward the
kitchen window. He encouraged the music man to get up and take a
look.
The
musician followed Bowman’s gaze out the window that hung over the
kitchen sink. He spotted the side of the small shed and his eyes
caught barely a glimpse of Blair’s floral skirt moving within. He
tossed a confused look to the preacher, who gave the man a
surreptitious wink and then resumed his seat at the table.
A
lecherous look registered in the music man’s deep-set eyes about
the same instant the preacher’s intentions reached his cramped
mind. The musician reached for the back door handle and opened it,
looking back at the preacher once more to be sure that that was what
the preacher intended. He was rewarded with a silent nod.
Preacher
Bowman reached for another slice of pie.
