Two and a half years ago, twenty-three-year-old Clara Fallow was found unconscious and alone at the scene of a house fire with no memory of why she had been at the abandoned property. Clara tries to move on from that mysterious night by spending her days babysitting three spoiled suburban kids, doing her best to ignore their parents’ smug superiority, and suppressing any desire for a better life by partying with her shallow boyfriend. But when a stranger shows up outside of her work gig one summer day, Clara can't deny that he knows something about both the blaze and her past. Too bad the truth isn’t so easy to discern when you’re a girl with more trust issues than your town can boast ears of corn. In rural Campbell, Pennsylvania, that’s a whole heck of a lot. Secrets, strangers, and the supernatural aren't so extraordinary in this sleepy little village. And, as Clara learns, nothing happens by chance. An allegory about spiritual warfare and the good God who has never forsaken us, WILD DARK is not your mother's Christian fiction. |
