The Season of Lost Children
Author: Karen Blomain
Publisher: Pearlsong Press
ISBN: 1597190292
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
In a small college town in Pennsylvania the lives of a bigamist's wife, a Polish orphan, an ex-priest and his wife—a former nun—and a mute teenage runaway intersect. The Season of Lost Children explores the question of what constitutes family and finds that the answer is often closer than we think, if only we look with and within our hearts. The Season of Lost Children can be enjoyed on its own, but was also written as part of The Fenston Trilogy, in which Blomain planned to trace fifty years of the interwoven lives and friendship of three women in a bucolic Pennsylvania college town. While The Season of Lost Children focuses on the life of the eccentric former nun, Eleanor Roderi, the first novel in the planned trilogy, A Trick of Light, chronicles the heartbreaking discovery and redemption of Hattie Darling, the only daughter of the town's first family.
