Welcome to the Family

Wade is only nine. He’s had a rough life. In 1944 Mississippi, there is nowhere for him to turn. He’s been abandoned time and time again and feeding himself is his top priority. Well, that and keeping away from the police that would take his freedom and the adults that would seek to use the boy for nefarious means. After years of surviving on his own, a nice, well-dressed man offers young Wade a place to stay for a few days, thinking his wife would be overjoyed.

Whatever Wade expected, this isn’t it. Luthor and his wife, Gabrielle, are charming people. At first. But as young Wade soon discovers, people are not always what they seem. Did Wade jump from the frying pan into the fire? And if so, will he survive to tell about it? A Winchester County novella.
