" I fully intended to stay out of trouble this time, but that first morning I saw it coming and didn't know what I was going to do about it....Her name was Sade Carman." Clever and wise for his years though he was, in the fall of 1969, seventeen-year-old Mark Free really never saw any of it coming--not the trumped-up rape accusation, not his decision to flee into the woods, not the men with rifles fast on his trail, and certainly not one Cece Morgan, violent and out for the thrill of the kill. Set in rugged western Oregon, Lobelia Verbascum is the fast-paced and wry adventure of an unusually well-read country boy running for this life--and running toward it as well. This is the posthumous work of F.J. Farqué, who wrote about a boy's coming-of-age at the beginning of America's own "tumultuous decade."

Author Floyd Jefferson Farqué wrote only one novel during his life, but he wrote several stories, poetry, and was an accomplished artist. Born in Louisiana's Calcasieu Parish, Floyd came to Oregon as a young man, was a logger, and worked as a planerman and moulder operator in local mills. He loved the Pacific Northwest, married twice and raised three children there. Beyond high school Floyd educated himself on many subjects throughout his life and, like his character Mark Free, had the same keen appetite for literature. Lobelia Verbascum was brought to publication by his daughter, Lisa, to honor her father's writing life.
