The landscape of the 1932 Connecticut farm is bleak and rocky. farm animals furrowed parched grass. To this lonely place the State brought an unclaimed child, without a past or conceivably a present. But Zara, who has been abused and used for the purpose of others, is determined to control her own destiny. Scenes showing the tender growth of love between a woman and a child, or a college boy corralling a wild pig, or a barbaric barn dance, are unforgettable. But at the contentious State convention, Zara discovers the secret that will give her powers she has never imagined. Set against the background of small-town politics, "12 O'Clock Bus" is an amazing and beautifully written book the reader will not forget.

Review "There is so much to like in this coming-of-age novel, not least its powerful depiction of the bright and dark sides of the lives of girls and women at a time in history when their choices outside the domestic sphere were severely limited. Zara's story, full of drama and surprise, is a striking example of Wolfert's remarkable talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary.
