The northwoods chronicles

by Elizabeth Engstrom

Residents of isolated White Pines Junction in Vargas County live a prosperous contented life. The town seems normal to the tourists who flock there for fishing in the lakes in the summer.

The townsfolk accept the abductions as a fee from beyond for their wonderful lifestyle--but sacrificial love takes its toll in guilt and grief.
