Wolf's Run

"Wolf's Run is a mystery-laced love story set against the violent backdrop of the 1960s Civil Rights Era in Mississippi. Holly Lee Carter is a young, beautiful photo-journalist left paralyzed while covering the Vietnam War. When Holly inherits her family newspaper, she reluctantly leaves her adopted home in Los Angeles and returns to the family home in Mississippi?Wolf's Run. With segregated Cattahatchie County remaining, "the last of its kind, even in Mississippi," Holly fights to keep the newspaper out of bankruptcy and the hands of the Ku Klux Klan, and comes to believe that her father's death was no accident. Returning home in a wheelchair, Holly must deal with her own fears, insecurities, frustrations and the reawakening of powerful, long-dormant desires. Her hard-earned Christian faith strengthens her, but will it be enough? Along the way, Holly develops a surprising friendship with Cutter Carlucci, an 18-yearold high school football star with a vicious Klansman father and a chip on his shoulder about "cripples." Living on his own, with all his belongings stowed in his old Jeep, Cutter has a maturity and influence beyond his years. As the summer heats up, the county is ready to explode ? and does! ? when the Klan's -maker arrives in town. The decisions Holly and Cutter make will change the county's future? and perhaps cost them their lives." -- from publisher's website.
