She becomes the wife of a minister, John Ames, and begins a new existence while trying to make sense of the life that preceded her newfound security. Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, and brought up by her in a hardscrabble childhood. Together they crafted a life on the run, living hand to mouth with nothing but their sisterly bond and a ragged blade to protect them. Despite bouts of petty violence and moments of desperation, their shared life was laced with moments of joy and love. When Lila arrives in Gilead, she struggles to reconcile the life of her makeshift family and their days of hardship with the gentle Christian world-view of her husband which paradoxically judges those she loves. 586 $a National Book Critics Circle Award 2014, Fiction 650 0 $a Clergy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Spouses of clergy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Street children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adult child abuse victims $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Iowa $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Religious fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210427011949.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1C4E678AA71E11EBB7E268FB48ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
