Ferguson's Tractor-biography: And Selected Ruminations

by Daniel V. Runyon

The literary genre "missions fiction" barely existed at all until Ferguson crept out of the weeds to shyly confess the dismal details of her shattered dreams due to a life of abuse, pride, and abandonment. A Celebrate Recovery-type testimony, Part I details a coming of age allegory about an old lady tractor destined for the scrap heap until rescued, restored, and put to redemptive use. Agents of change in her journey to joy include the young farmer Virgil Hartgerink, the energetic mice children, a canny mechanic, and most notably the underground listener Benjamin Titus Mole, PhD. In Part II, Ferguson emerges as a wise advice columnist and seasoned missionary whose humor-laced good judgment derives from a hard life of both toil and treasure.
