Another Spring

About the Book

Former WWII fighter pilot, Reed Hunter, married the daughter of a wealthy self-made millionaire. Though he adored her, the high life, paid for by her father, interfered with Hunter's serious intention to become a writer. Her accidental death freed him to get back to work. He chose a small summer resort in N H, rejected her estate and her father's offer of money and went to work living frugally he believed he could produce a publishable work within a year. His life as a recluse didn't last. Invitations from merchants' wives plus: the sudden appearance of Sarah Goodwin like a wood nymph ready, on the advice of her Aunt Pearl, to offer herself as housekeeper; Les Turner, an independent local handyman seeking Hunter's advice on his sexual dilemma with a summer person; Bea Lockwood, a summer person, a college English Instructor, frightened of her gorgeous body.

All of that and many more interesting characters you will never forget plus a murder the local Sheriff seems determined not to solve sets Hunter and the Town at odds.

Another Spring tells an unusual suspenseful story of high and low life in a rural community more than 50 years ago.
