From award-winning and bestselling author Daniel Amory (NYT, A&E Television, The History Channel, "Cameron's Court," "The Lion in the Colosseum," "Hi Pretty Girl, Bye Pretty Girl," "(In)famous"), "Le Scapegoat," set in provincial France, tells the new magnificent and entertaining drama-comedy of Jean des Michels, and his family, as they struggle to survive during a long drought in the years leading up to the French Revolution. Forced to give up his dream of traveling throughout Europe and seeing the world, Jean takes over the family farm. As the years go by, Jean's dairy goat, Marion, provides milk and cheese to the small French village of Minna-Saint Chabot. However, Jean finds out that long hardships mounting from the drought have turned the villagers against Marion. With everyone blaming Marion for their life struggles in an increasingly charged atmosphere, Jean attempts to stand up for what is right and defend her from injustice. The story explores themes of perseverance, family, friendship, courage, self-sacrifice and dignity. "Timeless." "Feel-good." "Uplifting." "Deep Social Commentary." "Bravo."
