Cold Spell: The View from the End of the Peninsula, Hardcover/Todd R. Nelson

A Must-Read for any Mainer . . . or anyone who dreams of becoming a Mainer. Giving up a life in Chicago, Todd R. Nelson moved with his family to the stark contrasts of Castine, Maine. What began as a leap of faith turned into a family epoch of wonderful activity, professional and personal development, an unlimited inspiration, hard work and struggle, friendship and enchantment. What lucky fools, Nelson writes in his introduction. Cold Spell is a collection of stories--warm, humorous, and at times cautionary--about living in Maine. Here are stories about the seasons, the critters, the neighbors, the land itself, and the community that Nelson calls home Todd R.
