The Bait Shop : A Vintage Love Story

This coming of age love story set in 1967 on the Olympic Peninsula will take you through the wilderness and get you home in one piece with a limp. Shane Sorrel has just lost his brother to the war in Vietnam and his older sister Maggie is fractured and falling into a fantasy world. The family will spend the summer trying to heal. But to Shane, the rain forest is just another jungle with spiders, snakes, slugs and sunburns. Crescent lake is the bottomless attraction and he doesn't know how to swim. It might be a long couple of months reading Superman comics in the shade with one eye watching for Goldilocks and the other watching for three bears. Or under the lamp of the Aladdin trailer with three wishes and a bed in the loft where Jimbo in his uniform appears in campfire dreams. A straw haired girl with a straw broom, an Italian Indian guide and a fairy tale cast of characters bring Shane and his sister closer together as the culture of the day brings choice, consequence, and change.--Publisher's description.
