Incisive novel of aging, compromise, and Pioneer Valley life. -BookLife Editor's Pick
Steven Bennett is a historian, chef, and programmer in the quaint rural towns of the Pioneer Valley. Rejected by his first love, he marries another woman and lives an ordinary life hosting barbecues and tip-toeing around a past extramarital affair. After raising a family, a sudden suspected overdose of a young woman in town upends Steven's life. He embarks on a quest to discover what really happened only to unearth buried scars and hard truths about old friends.
Set against the backdrop of lush hills in Western Massachusetts, Crystal Springs is literary fiction about the love of place, the bonds between found families, and the lasting love between friends.
