{"product_id":"jane-and-the-boy-wonder","title":"Jane and the Boy Wonder","description":"A 1930’s rural teacher uses a mysterious boy prodigy to change her life forever, while the young genius’s dark path threatens to destroy everything.\n\nRural Oregon: 1936. Jane Alexander sits on her porch listening to Walter Winchell’s, Live at the Stork Club in New York City, then retires to bed alone with a pulp romance, dreaming of being a famous writer but knowing she lacks some elusive gift to make it a reality. That is, until 15-year-old Tobias Randall shows up at her one-room schoolhouse and reveals his otherworldly capability of crafting amazing stories.\n\nTobias and Jane make a pact to use each other to publish bestselling novels under Jane’s name. Jane will gain fame, and Tobias will use the money to escape a fate working on his father’s farm. To assist, Jane brings in six other middle-aged single women like herself (also completely without prospects). But as their books soar to the top of the bestseller lists, Miss Alexander’s selfish ambition collides with the unmistakable signs of Tobias’s dark nature.\n\nTobias disappears after one of the ladies is murdered, only to reemerge in the coming years as an ominous player in little-known but real historical events which have created our modern world today. Each time Tobias reveals himself he toys dangerously with Jane and the other ladies, who must stop him to protect the literary empire they’ve built and their very lives.\n\nJane and the Boy Wonder is Fried Green Tomatoes meets an “evil” Forrest Gump. Fans of the voice, tone, and humor of The Maid, by Nita Prose, and Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club books will relish each page.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0997899786\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0997899786.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Donley, Aaron\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
