In his debut novel Roger Hoffman writes from childhood memories a
beautiful and inspiring tribute to a day gone by, a time of
innocence and harsh realities. Laced with nostalgia from the
1940's, One Eyed Wolf tells the story of two boys and their mother
who try to make a go of it in the movie theater business when their
dad is off to war. A small town story reminiscent of To Kill a
Mockingbird cleverly crafts the timeless conflict between boys and
their bullies. One particularly nasty nemesis, Jack Jenstsen,
threatens the very survival of Robbie Holden and his brother Billy.
Told through the eyes of a young boy, the world looks like a big
place wrapped in the mysteries of growing up. Blessed with
great-uncles who teach them about the family business and life, the
young brothers both admire and struggle with the expectations of
their family and the community in which they live. In a child's
game played after dark, Billy falls comatose in a trance. When he
finally comes to, he refuses to tell what he saw. Billy's vision of
the one eyed wolf paints a frightening portrait of athletic
accomplishments under a dark and foreboding cloud. Robbie writes in
his journal, "Billy saw the future and it scared him to death." Is
the one eyed wolf just a boy's fanciful dream, or will it return to
consume its prey? Steve Ward, Editor and Author Paula Hoffman,
