In Sawgamet, a north woods boomtown gone bust, the cold of winter breaks the glass of the schoolhouse thermometer, and the dangers of working in the cuts are overshadowed by the mysteries and magic lurking in the woods. Stephen, a pastor, is at home on the eve of his mother's funeral, thirty years after the mythic summer his grandfather returned to the town in search of his beloved but long-dead wife. And like his grandfather, Stephen is forced to confront the losses of his past. Touch introduces you to a world where monsters and witches oppose singing dogs and golden caribou, where the living and the dead part and meet again in the crippling beauty of winter and the surreal haze of summer.

Review:
Starred Review. [An] eerie, elegiac debut. The tales he tells Stephen of golden caribou, malevolent wood spirits, and a winter that lasted so long it buried the town in snow until July are woven in so seamlessly that the reader never questions their validity. The rugged wilderness is captured exquisitely, as is Stephen's uncommon childhood, and despite a narrative rife with tragedy, Zentner's elegant prose keeps the story buoyant. "

One of those rare novels that takes hold of your imagination and your heart and does not let go. --Aryn Kyle, author of The God of Animals"

Magic, myth-making and thirty feet of snow: a startling debut novel with a touch of wonder
