Synopsis
The Farm is a provocative historical thriller set in post-WWII America.
When wounded Nazi prisoner of war Olaf "Ollie" Weber escapes from a POW camp in Tennessee, he embarks on a chilling mission: assassinating President Truman. Ginger "Snaps" Wright, a struggling actress, inadvertently helps Ollie escape. After Ollie attacks Snaps, leaving her pregnant and him dead, she faces the difficult realities of an unexpected pregnancy in the mid-1940s. Due to Army regulations, Snaps must decide whether to carry the fetus to term or terminate it, making her confront a heartbreaking choice.
This timely exploration of women's rights and abortion is set against the backdrop of post-war Southern America, offering a poignant glimpse into the era’s social and economic hardships. The Wright family, dealing with grief and loss, searches for new purpose in the changing landscape. The massacre at Malmedy, a Nazi war crime that claimed the life of Snaps' brother-in-law, adds historical weight to the story.
From the author of the acclaimed novel Gettysburg by Morning, The Farm is a captivating tale of love, loss, and the enduring resilience of the human spirit.
