Pa and Ma start out to bring unsuspecting travelers to a "land fl owing with milk and honey." Meanwhile, their government has been planning and implementing a great conspiracy to control the nation's population so that society will not fi nd out what's really going on. It was determined that Pa needed to be reprogrammed and another would have to take his place. Pa was transferred to another facility and never seen again. Time moved on as Ma was patiently awaiting Pa's return. Ma was standing by the covered wagon, gazing out over the hillside, when she was unknowingly attracted to one particular cow that had familiar markings on its face. "Pa, is that you?" This light-hearted reading that seems like a children's story, is written for adults with a humorous tone. But, the underlying message is one of intrigue and conspiracy. The clichés may give the reader a chuckle or two, but the author has written a story that will leave the real or make-believe conclusion to the reader. Fact or fiction? Can we really believe what we see and hear, or are we deceived by the system? Who knows! Perhaps it may only be the imagination in the mind of the author; or the reader. Who really knows the truth about what's really going on in - "The Valley of the Hills?"
