FOREST - Love, Loss, Legend (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511601573)

Matthew and Raminder are young, idealistic and in love.As soon as they can they plan to leave behind the small town and small minds of Pitt Landing. They will embrace life and experience the world, maybe even change it.Man plans, God laughs. Raminder's father has a stroke and her commitment to her family means she must postpone her plans and stay in Pitt Lake. It's just the opposite for Matt. A family tragedy leaves irreconcilable differences between him and his father and forces him to leave.They promise to reunite, but life happens. Twelve years later, Matt is an acclaimed war correspondent. He's seen it all and it's left him with post-traumatic stress, a gastric ulcer, and an enlarged liver. He's never been back to Pitt Landing though the memory of Raminder and their love has more than once kept him sane.He's at his desk in the newsroom, recuperating from his last assignment and current hangover and reading a letter from his father, the first contact they've had in over a decade. It talks about a legendary lost gold mine, a map leading to it, and proof in a safety deposit box back in Pitt Lake. He's sent it to Matt in case something happens to him and cautions his son to keep it a secret.Matt is about to dismiss the letter when the telephone rings. It's Raminder telling him his father has disappeared somewhere in the wilderness that surrounds Pitt Lake. Lost gold, lost love and lost hope compels Matt to return home to a dying town on the edge of the wilderness. The forest is waiting.
