Polecat

by Steve Turner

When Talcott frees Piper’s captive polecat, the siblings begin to question their own place within the strict confines of their adoptive home. Talcott retreats to the downs and marshes surrounding the house, seeking solace in solitude, while Piper’s fierce independence clashes with the rigid moralism of their adoptive parents. When the couple's biological son leaves the house in acrimony, the fragile unity holding the family together finally fractures. A long-buried secret rises to the surface, forcing each of them to confront the truths they’ve avoided. For Talcott and Piper, one painful question is their freedom possible only if they sever the bond that has always defined them?
