Set in the isolated community of Stella's Cove, B.C., at the end of the 1800's, Carnivorous Sheep is a frightening psychological story of what happens when individual moral and ethical commitments are abandoned out of a need to fit-in and to belong. With its rich description of B.C.'s haunting Pacific Coast and rugged population, author Michael Sorbonne Robinson paints a picture that will be burned into the reader's mind--along with a poignant lesson that all people should know: Shepherds aren't necessarily the embodiment of virtue, and lambs may not be as innocent as they look.
A troubling story, it is told by Billy Potter, who struggles in his conflicts with both his mother and the community. Acutely aware of the duplicities of both, he must find wisdom and answers from his own observations. Stunned by the loss of his father, and thrashed by his mother's religious tirades on God and repentance, Billy is frustrated by the understanding that his young voice can simply not be heard, and, later, by the realization that he can do nothing to change the outcome.
Inspired by a young school teacher, a defrocked minister, and a kind man who understands his need for a father figure, Billy will rise to become Stella's Cove's favorite son, while his community is forced to answer for its moral failures.
