If your grandfather could give you anything - what would it be?
Twenty-three-year-old Jim Clark is about to find out!
During his third year of college, a young man is forced to abandon school and leave his classmate and friend Susan behind. Jim returns to the family farm, only to face one hardship after another.
Broke and with debt mounting, Jim’s world falls apart. Then, one day, while cleaning out the attic of his now empty colonial home, Jim discovers an envelope - yellowed with age.
The letter is from a grandfather he’s never met, and it instructs Jim to go to Allagash Lake and retrieve an heirloom “for the sake of the family"! Follow along as Jim treks deep into the Maine wilderness to recover a grandfather’s keepsake and stumbles onto a mystical path to the past.
The writing dragged a bit at times. There were odd word choices that made it feel stilted. The story was interesting and does give insight into the Allagash region.
