Fiction Family Life
"If ever there was anything colder or more beautiful than a
German winter I have yet to experience it. But when I was a
girl of only ten, I could hardly understand that I should
appreciate such loveliness with my whole heart, because,
rest assured, things would get worse for me. The Kingdom of Childhood is the story of a boy and a woman:
sixteen-year-old Zach Patterson, uprooted and struggling to
reconcile his knowledge of his mother’s extramarital affair,
and Judy McFarland, a kindergarten teacher watching her
family unravel before her eyes. Thrown together to organize
a fundraiser for their failing
private school and bonded by loneliness, they begin an
affair that at first thrills, then corrupts each of them.
Judy sees in Zach the elements of a young man she loved as a
child, but what Zach does not realize is that
their relationship is—for Judy—only the latest in a lifetime
of disturbing secrets. "
