New condition color illustrated softcover wraps. Includes Dedication and Foreword. Signed and inscribed by the author with black pen on the full title page. "The Shire, a swelling in J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth is the perfect palce for a young woman like Amanda Marcella, who does not fare well on her own. Sheltered within her marriage, she tries to escape the pressures of society. But the outside world has a way of creeping in and as it was in The Shire, unrest will determine the future. Inspiration for this fictioal place called The Shire was based on Tokkien's world of the hobbits. The history behind it refers to Tolkien's witnessing of the Industrial Revolution during his youth, and the harmful consequences. The Shire may be interpreted as a remedy to the problems of modern society and a return to simplicity. It is a region, largely removed from the "goings-on in the rest of Middle-earth." Hobbits didn't seek adventure or have the desire to leave the comfort of their homes." - from the Foreword "Sheltered within her marriage, Amanda Marcella wants to escape the pressures of society. However, the outside world has a way of creeping in and unrest determise her future. Thrust into a world of jealousy, obsession, and revenge, now there is no place to hide. She makes the decision to leave and tries to rebuild her life. The last thing she remebers is going to her car in the underground parking lot at work. Amanda wakes to find herself held captive in a tiny locked room. Who has taken her and what are they going to do? Terrified, she can only pray that someone will find her before it is too late." - from the rear outer cover. "A real page turner! Searching for the Shire is a good read with an unusual plot." - Daren Lamb. Seller Inventory # 003721
