Damnation Spring

Beautifully written, it was easy to fall in love with (or learn to hate) the characters. The love story between Rich and Colleen, their little boy Chub and his sweetness, the relationship between Lark and Rich and Lark and Marsha – I felt I was in the middle of their story, they were made real to me. I also felt the tug between preserving nature and preserving a way of life that is little understood outside of a small circle who live it. I didn't love the ending, but finished the book in a day because did not want to put it down.
