Item Description
Cabin: Two Brothers, a Dream, and Five Acres in Maine, by Lou Ureneck. Viking, 2011. Hardcover, 256 pp. City-bound for a decade, Lou decides he needs to build a simple post-and-beam cabin in the woods. He buys five acres in the hills of western Maine and asks his younger brother, Paul, to help him. Twenty years earlier, the brothers had built a house together. Now Lou sees working with Paul as a way to reconnect with their shared history and to rediscover his truest self. As the brothers -- with the help of Paul's sons -- undertake the challenging construction, nothing seems to go according to plan. But as they raise the cabin, Ureneck eloquently reveals his own evolving insights into the richness and complexity of family relationships, the healing power of nature, and the need to root oneself in a place one can call home. "Echoes of Thoreau, but also Melville’s restless Ishmael ... A Thoreauvian mission to simplify life and find his truest self by building a lakeside cabin." - Boston Globe. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR
