YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN…Which was fine with Eden–formerly Edna Rae–Harper, since after a humiliating incident involving high school heartthrob Travis Conroy, home was the last place she wanted to be. But her mother needed her, so here she was. And there was Travis Conroy–still as appealing as ever and still out of her league.Travis wasn't ever expecting to see mousy Edna Rae Harper again–and in a way he was right, since Eden, the shapely blond sophisticate before him, bore little resemblance to the dateless, bookish girl he remembered. He wanted her, pure and simple. But could he convince Monroe's most wayward daughter to come home…to him?

Forged in the hellfires of combat, the paramilitary operatives of the covert organization known as Stony Man are the President's first response team when crisis strikes.

A highly acclaimed collection of short stories set in the great outdoors of New England, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of ‘The Shipping News’ and ‘Brokeback Mountain’.Just outside town, beyond the drugstore and the diner, there's another world – a wilderness – waiting to be explored. On the high, wooded hillsides there are deer to be stalked; far upriver there are quiet pools of trout, and grouse to be shot and traplines to be laid for fur. In the far-flung settlements of New England, life revolves around hunting.Whether they are yuppies from the town who think that country life is improving or natives who know all too well that it isn't, the men and women of these stories are all hunting for something better – though getting by at all is hard enough. These are men and women who live, love and lose; men and women who fall apart and who pick up the pieces, who dream useless dreams and go on dreaming whatever the disappointments.Tough and tender and irresistibly humorous, this unforgettable book takes its reader on a trail through the great outdoors to the innermost places of the heart.
