The Last Night in Twisted River

In 1954, in the dining hall of a logging camp sawmill in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local police chief’s girlfriend for a bear. Both the boy and his father are forced to flee Coos County for Boston, Vermont, and Toronto, pursued by the relentless policeman. Their only protector is a libertine logger, a former log driver, who becomes their friend. In a story spanning five decades, Last Night at Twisted River depicts the last half-century in the United States.
From the novel's first sentence to its last chapter, Last Night at Twisted River was written with historical and emotional authenticity. What most sets it apart is the unmistakable voice of the author – the inimitable voice of a masterful storyteller.
