The coffins of Little Hope
(Large Print)
Description
Essie is an octogenarian obituary writer for her family's small town newspaper, so when a young girl named Lenore is reported to be missing and perhaps whisked away by an itinerant aerial photographer -- she stumbles onto the story of her life. It could be a hoax -- or even the delusion of invented from the desperate imagination of a lonely, lovelorn woman. Whatever it is, the story of Lenore ignites a controversy that attracts reporters, curiosity-seekers and cult worshippers from all over the country.
The Coffins of Little Hope tells an energetic story of characters caught in the webs of myth, legend and deception, even as it explores the fragility of childhood, the strength of family, and the dramatic effects of pop culture on the way we shape our world.

| 520 | |a "Essie [is] an octogenarian obituary writer for her family's small town newspaper. When a young country girl is reported to be missing, perhaps whisked away by an itinerant aerial photographer, Essie stumbles onto the story of her life. Or, it all could be simply a hoax, or a delusion, the child and child-thief invented from the desperate imagination of a lonely, lovelorn woman. Either way, the story of the girl reaches far and wide, igniting controversy, attracting curiosity-seekers and cult worshipers from all over the country to this dying rural town. And then it is revealed that the long awaited final book of an infamous series of YA gothic novels is being secretly printed on the newspaper's presses."--From inside jacket flap. | ||
