'A stunning accomplishment, Mirror Lake reaffirms the true power of love and its resounding ability to transform the human heart' NELSON DEMILLE

My name is Nathan Carter. Let me say that even though this story does not concern me - not directly anyway - I feel an obligation to tell it, because it was told to me, and it is the type of story that needs to be told...

So begins this powerful tale of love, loss and redemption, drawing us into the small town of Eden, Vermont, and into the complex lives of two very different men. Nathan Carter is a young man in love with falling in love. A serial monogamist, he flits from woman to woman until, as yet another relationship disintegrates, he leaves his busy Boston lifestyle behind him and drives north to the small town of Eden.

There he meets Wallace Fiske: a man at the end of his life. A man with a story to tell. And as the surly, gruff Wallace starts to tell Nathan his story - the story of Nora, the woman he loved from the moment he first set eyes on her, the story of the man Wallace used to be - the two men become friends. It's a friendship - and a story - that will change Nathan forever...

Praise for Mirror Lake

A story of love, betrayal, and violence that kept me turning the pages to the end

Susan Cheever

A beautiful piece of writing - infused with the themes of family, death, loyalty, and romantic love - I think we're going to hear a lot more about this very fine novelist

James Lee Burke

A taut psychological drama that carried me through from first page to last - a voice that can render exquisitely the sharpest truths of the human heart and the finest details of a passing landscape all at once

Bret Lott, author of JEWEL

Mirror Lake is a strong and gentle book about friendship, loneliness, and the transcendent stubbornness of the human heart. A sweet, sad story, full of surprises and resonant of the green mountains and clear waters of Vermont

John Hough, Jr., author of THE LAST SUMMER

A stunning accomplishment, Mirror Lake reaffirms the true power of love and its resounding ability to transform the human heart

Nelson Demille
