Water Mist

As the only son of a potato farmer in Vermont, Harry vows at a young age to earn his living in a less taxing manner. By age twenty, he is a graduate of Castleton Seminary, married, and an expectant father. Life is on the verge of great happiness and success until a tragic accident dismantles his dreams.

Written by his granddaughter, Water Mist is a gripping account of Harry's life as a young widower seeking solace on a prairie in Indiana. There he finds friendship that rekindles his dreams. Yankee virtues of faithfulness, frugality, and fortitude dominate the decades that follow. Guided by his loved ones, present and departed, Harry comes to know the true riches of life.

Water Mist, the author's second novel, is engaging and historically accurate while delivering actions with authentic emotion. It sheds light on events and people in Rutland County, Vermont, heretofore unknown, and does so with candor and courage.
