Astray by J Rogers
A trainer coaxes his beloved elephant onto a ship carrying him to a life of fame. A mother searches for her baby girl, sent away on a train headed west. A teenage soldier wrestles with his conscience far from home.The fascinating characters who roam the pages of Emma Donoghue's stories have all gone astray. They are emigrants, runaways, drifters, gold miners and counterfeiters, attorneys and slaves. They cross countless borders. They travel for love or money, incognito or under duress.
The celebrated author of Room transports us from Puritan Massachusetts to Revolutionary-era New Jersey, from antebellum Louisiana to a highway in Toronto, lighting up four centuries of wanderings that have profound echoes in the present and offering us a moving meditation on restless times.
Rogers, J. F.: - J. F. Rogers lives in southern Maine with her husband, daughter, pets, and an imaginary friend or two. She has a degree in Behavioral Science and teaches 5th-6th grade Sunday School. When she's not entertaining Tuki the Mega Mutt, her constant companion and greatest distraction, she's likely tap tap tapping away at her keyboard, praying the words miraculously align just so. Above all, she's a believer in the One True God and can say with certainty-you are loved. Connect with her at jfrogers.com
