Item Description
This is the third book in the trilogy about Ranger James Clark. View Solace and The Ranger and the Reporter, the first and second in ther series.
Relaxing on the porch of a remote log cabin, Susan Clarke cradles a mug of tea. From out on the lake, a loon's primeval call expresses the loneliness she feels because husband Jim is out "on river patrol."
Tonight the ranger's wife recalls that life in the woods began when very young. Such as the time her river-driver grandfather shrieked over the roar of an outboard motor, "Susan! I told you to watch for deadheads!" The five-year old froze on her seat and scanned teh foaming water; terrified she'd see decapitated skulls bobbing like spoiled pumkins.
Then, again, years later when her husnad transferred into the woods and the boss had warned "If I were you Jim I wouldn't leave my wife alone without a handgun."
The grandchild of a Penoscot River-driver and a grandmother - the first female cook for Great Northern Paper - Susan has spent a lifetime in the woods.
But when she married wildernesss Ranger James P. Clark, the lady entered a new realm. Living in Maine's northern forest, Susan soon learned that she needed to evaluate and adapt at a moment's notice. Physical demands are harsh, but how will she ever cope with the real life dangers that threaten her family. Sometimes it's ok to be alone.
But then again - sometimes not!
