Fence

Father

when

separated
Muri
Pond,
a
librarian,hauls
her
kids,
teenage

and
eleven
year-old
Truman,
out
to
the
tiny
town
of
Murkee,
Oregon,
where
her
father,
Joe
Pond
lived
and
died,
she’s
confronted
by
a
neighbor’s
harassment
over
water
rights
and
Joe’s
legacy:
a
fence
made
from
old
oven
doors.
The
fence
and
accompanying
house
trailer
horrify
rebellious
Nova,
who
runs
away
to
the
drug-infested
streets
of
Seattle.
Muri
searches
for
her
daughter
and
for
something
to
believe
in,
all
the
while
trying
to
save
her
inheritance
from
the
conniving
neighbor
who
calls
her
dad
Chief
Joseph.
Along
with
Joe’s
sister,
Aunt
Lutie,
and
the
Red
Rock
Tabernacle
Ladies,
Muri
must
rediscover
the
faith
her
alcoholic
dad
never
abandoned
in
order
to
reclaim
her
own
spiritual
path.
