Hardback. Condition: Good. Ann Joslin Williams grew up observing the craft of writing: her father, Thomas Williams, was a National Book Award-winning novelist. Many of his stories were set in the fictional town of Leah, New Hampshire, and on nearby Cascom Mountain, locations that closely mirrored the landscape of the Williamses' real hometown. With Down from Cascom Mountain, Ann Joslin Williams proves herself a formidably talented novelist in her own right, while paying tribute to her father by setting her debut novel in the same fictional world-the New Hampshire he imagined and that she has always known. In Down from Cascom Mountain, newlywed Mary Hall brings her husband to settle in the rural New Hampshire of her youth to fix up the house she grew up in and to reconnect to the land that defined her, with all its beauty and danger. But on a mountain day hike, she watches helplessly as her husband falls to his death. As she struggles with her sudden grief, in the days and months that follow, Mary finds new friendships-with Callie and Tobin, teenagers on the mountain club's crew, and with Ben, the gentle fire watchman. All are haunted by their own losses, but they find ways to restore hope in one another, holding firmly as they navigate the rugged terrain of the unknown and unknowable, and loves lost and found.Praise for The Woman in the Woods The Woman in the Woods marks the debut of a wise and beautiful voice in American fiction, one that will stand as a powerful new presence in our literary landscape. -Julie Orringer, author of How to Breathe Underwater and The Invisible Bridge.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A haunting debut novel about loss, healing, and the power of place to both wound and restore us. Mary Walker returns to the New Hampshire mountains of her childhood with her new husband, ready to rebuild her family's house on Cascom Mountain and start their life together. But in a single, devastating moment during a routine hike, she watches helplessly as her husband falls to his death, leaving her utterly alone in the wilderness that once felt like home. Struggling with sudden widowhood in the isolated mountain community, Mary finds unexpected solace among the seasonal crew that maintains the trails and lodge--young people who gather each night to share ghost stories and songs. She forms a deep connection with Callie, a sensitive sixteen-year-old who sees past Mary's grief, and with Tobin, the brilliant but awkward boy she once babysat, who now keeps silent vigil on her roof as she attempts to repair more than just her family's house. When her husband's estranged father arrives on the mountain, seeking some belated connection to his lost son, Mary must confront not only her own grief but the complicated legacy of family wounds. As the small community rallies around her, Mary discovers that healing comes not from escaping the past but from embracing the rugged beauty and harsh realities of the place that shaped her. Set against the unforgiving terrain of New Hampshire's mountains, Down from Cascom Mountain is a powerful exploration of how we rebuild our lives after loss--and how the land we love can break us and make us whole again. Ann Joslin Williams, writing in the fictional world first created by her father, National Book Award winner Thomas Williams, announces herself as a formidable novelist in her own right.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A deeply moving novel that illuminates the complex ways we survive the unthinkable and slowly, painfully, learn to live again. When Celia is murdered by a troubled young man from across the street, her husband Henry and daughters Nora and Lucy are left to navigate the unthinkable in their small town of Kittery, Maine. Desperate to help his daughters heal, Henry sends the girls to spend the summer at Skyland Farm, a remote artists' retreat in the New Hampshire mountains run by his beloved cousin Franny. But the girls, feeling abandoned, struggle to find their footing among the resident artists. Nora grapples with her complicated feelings about Blake, the young man who destroyed their lives, while forming a new bond with a young sculptor. Lucy, the sole witness to the murder, retreats into silence and the mysterious world of a painting above her bed. Back in Maine, Henry battles his own grief and faces his greatest test when he becomes entangled with Blake's alcoholic mother, threatening his twelve years of sobriety. As the family struggles separately with their trauma, the buried details of that terrible day slowly surface. When Nora makes a desperate midnight drive home to confront her father, their journey becomes a reckoning that will either destroy what remains of their family or finally allow them to face their loss together. Set against the rugged beauty of coastal Maine and the mountainous landscape of New Hampshire, Skyland reveals how art, nature, and unexpected friendships can slowly guide us back from the brink--and how families can find their way to one another even after the unthinkable.…
