  Dive into a modern American fable that will captivate your mind and ignite your spirit. "Sheep Herders Wolves, Why We Are Where We Are" is a provocative tale of power, choices, and the hidden truths of our society. 
  It all begins at a lively bar, where Jeff and his college friends celebrate the end of the fall term. Amidst the laughter and clinking glasses, José drops a bombshell: "Society operates by two mandates… Might Makes Right, and the Many Serve the Few." This unsettling declaration sends Jeff into a whirlwind of questions and doubts. 
  "Are we not a country governed by laws, offering equal opportunity for all?" Jeff challenges. 
  José's response is chillingly certain, "Throughout all of human history, the masses have served the few. The peasants have always served the powerful – those bold enough to seize power. Times haven’t changed. Human nature hasn’t changed. That we acquire debt and shackle ourselves in servitude is not by happenstance. The system always evolves to ensure the many serve the few. We just happen to be the many." 
  Disturbed and searching for answers, Jeff turns to his wise grandfather, Papa, during winter break. Over an intense cribbage match, Papa unfolds a mesmerizing tale of creation: SHEEP, HERDERS, WOLVES. This ancient narrative sheds light on why we are where we are and who truly holds the reins of power. 
  Embark on an enthralling journey with Jeff as he navigates the intricate dynamics of power and servitude. "Sheep Herders Wolves" is not just a story – it’s an eye-opening exploration that challenges our perceptions and inspires us to rethink the world we live in. 
  Prepare to be provoked, scared, and ultimately inspired by this masterful modern fable. Are you ready to discover the truth?

  Susan Keating Glaspell was born on July 1st, 1876 in Davenport, Iowa.  
   
  Glaspell, a precocious child, was an active student at Davenport High School.  By 18 she was earning a salary at the local newspaper as a journalist, and by 20 she was the author of a weekly 'Society' column.  
   
  At 21 she enrolled for Philosophy at Drake University, in Des Moines, where she excelled in debate competitions, and represented them at the state tournament.  
   
  After graduation, Glaspell again worked as a reporter, still a rare position for a woman, and assigned to cover the state legislature and murder cases. 
   
  At 24, after covering the conviction of a woman accused of murdering her abusive husband, Glaspell abruptly resigned and returned to Davenport, and a career writing fiction.  Her stories were published by periodicals, including Harper's and Munsey's.  
   
  In 1909, moving to Chicago she wrote her debut novel, ‘The Glory of the Conquered’. It was a best-seller. So too her 2nd and 3rd and to glowing reviews. 
   
  With her husband Glaspell founded the Provincetown Playhouse for plays that reflected contemporary issues. Her first play, ‘Trifles’ (1916), was based on the murder trial she covered as a young reporter and later adapted as the short story ‘A Jury of Her Peers’.  She wrote 12 plays over 7 years for the company. By 1918 Glaspell was considered one of America's most significant new playwrights. Despite its success theatre work did not make financial sense and she continued to submit short stories in order to support her and her husband during their years with the theater.  
   
  In 1931 her play, ‘Alison's House’, received the Pulitzer Prize.  She continued to write and now with themes increasingly based on her surroundings, on family life, and on theistic questions. 
   
  Susan Keating Glaspell died of viral pneumonia in Provincetown, Massachusetts on 28th July 1948.

  "Wayward Girls" is a portrait of brave sisterhood, infused with beauty and exquisite pain. Your heart will melt with every turn of the page." Laura Benedict, Edgar-nominated author of The Stranger Inside 
  "Wayward Girls delivers suspense, emotional depth, social commentary, and a gripping story. Grab a copy, a box of tissues, and the phone number of your oldest friend, because you're going to want to talk about this one after you turn the last page. It's a terrific book." Mary Anna Evans, author of the Faye Longchamp Mysteries 
  When late-night phone calls summon Jude Coleridge and Camille Prescott back to the Talbot Hall School for Girls, painful memories bombard them. Though estranged for years, both bear the physical and emotional scars from their youth. 
  At the boarding school, they were branded “the crazy girls, the ones who lie” and became unlikely best friends. They soon formed a trio with a new student, Wanda Ann, who pulled them into her bewildering relationship with the school psychologist, Dr. Hedstrom. But Wanda Ann’s wild stories masked a truth that threatened to engulf them all. 
  As teens, the girls could only rely on each other as they moved toward an unfathomable, fiery danger. Now, in the crumbling halls of Talbot, hours before the building’s demolition, they must grant forgiveness, to themselves and others, if they are to move forward.
