Over two dozen essays from established writers as well as newcomers on the relationship between landscape and the ways of life in New York's "North Country" - the Adirondacks and surrounding valleys. Between these covers are open spaces, small towns, skeletons in the closets, blue skies, big storms and more, all in a region that has never been quite sure how to define itself.
