Solace: Tales from Maine's National Wild and Scenic River

by Tim Caverly, Franklin Manzo Jr. (Illustrator)

If your grandfather could give you anything— What would it be? 23 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.
