The story is a fictionalized account of a true crime that occurred near Fruitvale in 1959. It explains work on a farm in the Kootenay District of British Columbia and describes the family life of the hog farmer, Kent Townsend, with his wife and three children. The farm does not provide enough revenue to support the family and the farmer has a regular job at a smelter in Trail B.C, about 15 miles from the farm. In order to expand the operation and have help on the farm, Kent hires a 27-year-old laborer with experience on Alberta ranches. The hired hand, Alex Hudulak, is unpolished and not highly educated but seems to be a willing worker. He helps in the harvesting of the hogs, makes maintenance repairs on the farm and manages the increased number of hogs that Kent acquires for the next year. The first half of the story relates to the routine life on the farm. In the summer of 1959, the hired hand gets drunk and for many psychological reasons as outlined in the story, in a fit of rage, rapes and kills the farmer's wife and daughter. He flees the scene but is captured very quickly. The rest of the story describes the impact that the crimes had on the farmer and his family and laments the seeming injustice in the case. Although set over 50 years ago, the story has relevance today as the Federal Government tries to aid or compensate the families of victims of serious crimes. The use of the insanity defense in murder trials and the way in which murderers are rehabilitated in remarkably short order today provide a backdrop to the similar situation in the 1960'S.Free Lesson PlansThe text is supported by free lesson plans that can be used by teachers and students who use the book as a means to teach and learn English. Due to the graphic nature of the crime and the sexual thoughts and actions of the hired hand, the story is more suited to Secondary School students and adults rather than middle school students. The vocabulary is easily understood by anyone with grade 7 reading sk.
