Bag om A Hunger In The Heart

HUNGER IN THE HEART is set in 1955 as a young boy comes to terms with the consequences World War II has had on his family.His beloved, shell-shocked, father is a decorated hero who stages continual games of war to train his son; his bigoted, alcoholic mother blames the misfortune in her marriage on the soldier whose life her husband saved; and his manipulative grandfather stirs up trouble between mother and son, until the boy must fight a personal war just to survive. When the boy's father is suspiciously shot and killed, his grandfather accuses his daughter-in-law, and a bitter estrangement between the boy and his mother is set in motion, tempered only by the family gardener and a neighbor girl with family problems of her own.This is a story, ultimately, of hope and love. How we find it and thrive in even the darkest circumstances.
