In "A Faulkner Season" two boys are sitting on a dock, fishing away a chilly autumn day. Their hands are on the poles, but their minds are on the choices that lay before and behind them. Behind them is home and the abusive father that they know and fear. Before are the wheat fields on the far side of the fence, unknown and uncommon. This is the story of the boys making that decision. A choice that weighs more than either boy may realize.
