Summers Run: An American Boyhood

Summers Run is that rare “feel-good-at-the-end” novel. Its setting is today’s rural Pennsylvania where lasting values are discovered and recovered. As its cover indicates, there’s fly-fishing, sure, and sandlot baseball, but the novel mirrors the larger issues of decisions, dreams, and reality found along the back roads and the fields and streams of Americana.
