Every so often a book comes along that pokes a stick in the eye of your conscience. This stick is sure to remind you that social change is dawdling, uneven, and wistful. This novel begs you to remember that when reviewed, the collective habits and prejudices of our recent past might appear picturesque and quaint; we must however, remain mindful they may also have been caustic or even devastating to those who lived through and with them. The views we hold today versus those held yesterday can be intimidating to those attempting to understand yesterday’s norms in today’s light.
In Unintentional Innocence, set in rural Alberta in the middle of the twentieth century, you will discover, in full measure, how difficult life could be for a woman who chose to claim equality with men in their rural lair.

Fred has done an amazing job of bringing to life these character's. I can identify with many of them as I grew up in the Pigeon Lake and Sandhom Districts of the 50's and 60's . I enjoyed many a burger and frys in the cafe in Mulhurst The book deserves a sequel or two if you can find in you FredProduct details

Unintentional Innocence eBook Fredrick LaForge Reviews
This may well be my favorite novel by Frederick LaForge. On top of what the other reviewers say here, I liked the setting and the atmosphere of it all. Rural Alberta during the post-WW2 era was a tough time for everyone but a time of promise too. LaForge has woven a believable story around the life of a young woman who came out of harsh orphanage years to struggle in establishing herself in a farming community south of Edmonton. Having lost her husband on the day her son was born, she needs something to hang onto in her desperate loneliness and helplessness. The mortar in her fragile life is her son, Joseph, who grows up with a fiercely determined mother who works her fingers to the bone, as it were, to keep the farm together. Her neighbors believe she is acting out-of-bounds, being a woman farmer on her own, but she in nonetheless honorable, forthright and as dedicated as fire in a fireplace.
Rachael McCann is not someone who gives up, period. She straps her son to her back and lives on her tractor from morning to night. The descriptions of this lifestyle are well presented by LaForge, whose colorful accounts here are every bit as good as in his other books. In building his characters - Rachael, Joseph, Dr Purdon, some of her grumpy neighbors - he puts the reader into the farming community of the Thorsby area. Coming from a similar farm background, and living not far from this location, I immediately felt the spirit of it all. By the end, I not only admired Rachael and her son, but I almost believed that they were real, so good was the immersion of the story-telling. This is the reality of 1950s wheat farming in rural Alberta back when a strong love between two partners was the only thing that held everything together. Rachael was special, in her outlook and in her remarkable strength of character. We are asked to believe that such people, lived back then.
LaForge also introduces his novel with a nice poem about his own parents. The influences of a good parent cannot be underestimated on their offspring. For powerful local anecdotes and life lessons, and the experiences of Rachael and Joseph, you can't lose with this one.
very interesting read ,quite the book.
