Bound by the Faces of Evil
by Tina Norman
Bound by the Faces of Evil incorporates a spiritual element in the tale of one woman’s journey from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood. She relates the story as if through the eyes of Sarah, using a first-person technique. Founded in part on an understanding of the likely opposition between forces of good and evil, the narrative highlights qualities relating to courage, identity, and love in various forms.
Born the seventh of twelve siblings, Sara associates aspects of her childhood with a sense of rage and remorse, thinking she may have taken on the daily strenuous labor of an adult. She perceives a certain lack of affection from her family and turns “to find love [in] the arms of Satan.” Her existence generally involves chores. When the owner of the farmhouse where her family lives says it is not fixable, she feels heartbroken, and a move to the big city creates a degree of turmoil, particularly after strange things start to happen in the house. Sarah endeavors to make sense of the occurrences that appear to focus on her, but as time passes she becomes violent, confused, and grief-stricken. She begins to virtually absorb the atmosphere of the house, somewhat complicated by her view of her family and her place within it.
In the concluding pages of Bound by the Faces of Evil, Sarah strives to overcome what she views as a Satanic effort toward her. Looking back on her experience from the apparent perspective of hindsight, she emphasizes a message of hope. Combining elements of suspense and emotion, her offering is designed to capture the imagination as well as provoke thought.
