Firestarter by stephen king6/25/2023 ![]() ![]() It is at his farm where Andy and Charlie get confronted by the The Shop for the first time since being on the run. He stood up for what was right, even as it caused him to be shot, and to have his farm burn to the ground. Irv saw that a wrong had been committed and did not take the easy way out. Without any promise of reward, he takes them back to his farm, to feed them and make sure that they are alright. An old farmer, he picks up Andy and Charlie while they were hitchhiking. ![]() One of my favorite King characters is Irv Manders. I thought about those questions a lot as I read this story. ![]() What lengths do we go through as parents to ensure that our children are safe, cared for, and free from the stresses of this world. I instantly connected with Andy and his plight of being on the run, unjustly pursued due to no fault of his own. Reading Firestarter now, 38 years old, with a daughter about the same age as young Charlie McGee, gave me a lot of different feelings than when I read this book for the first time in college. ![]()
