On the edge of the Adirondack wilderness, survival is a way
of life for the Hazen family. Gary Hazen is a respected
forester and hunter, known for his good instincts and
meticulous planning. He and his wife, Susan, have raised
their sons to appreciate the satisfaction of this difficult
but honest life. In spite of this, the boys, men now, are
slipping away. His older son, Gary David, is secretly dating
a woman of whom his father would not approve even as Kevin,
the younger boy, struggles against the limits of his
family�s hardscrabble lifestyle, wanting something more. On
the first day of hunting season the Hazen men enter the
woods, unaware that the trip they are embarking on will
force them to come to terms with their differences and will
forever change their lives. In The Grace That Keeps This World, Tom Bailey gives us an
emotional page-turner, infused with a deep sense of
foreboding. Alternately narrated by the Hazens and their
neighbors in Lost Lake, the story perfectly captures the
enduring rhythms of life in a rural town.
