A Novel

c
In the aftermath of a tragedy Jack Walker leaves his forty acre homestead and takes up residence in the small village of Cooper Hill, Vermont. In Cooper Hill, the tidy white homes appear tranquil from a distance and conceal the heartbroken family of a teenage runaway, a bitter postmistress, a woman from the city trying to live out a fantasy of country living, a young couple attempting to raise the perfect child, an entrepreneurial couple on the verge of financial collapse, a cat with attitude, and an otherwise peaceful dog who terrorizes the paper boy.
In the course of a year, set against community rituals that bind them together, and the war in Iraq that turns old friends against one another, Jack Walker and the people of Cooper Hill strive to achieve some measure of happiness while they deal with diminishing expectations.
