Aroostook Dreams: A Mystery from the Woods of Northern Maine.

Discover the forgotten world of Maine's Aroostook County, where the bonds of friendship, local legends, and the echoes of history come together in an unforgettable story.

In the early 1970s, Pat and Ron, two young dreamers with their two boys, ventured north to the rugged wilderness of Maine in search of a simpler life. Drawn by the untamed beauty of the place, they made new friends who talked them into purchasing a plot of land, and not long after, building a cabin there that became the heart of their story-a place where memories were forged and adventures unfolded.

This tale spans five decades, where the whispers of lichen-covered stone walls and the laughter of old-timers weave a tapestry rich with history, camaraderie, and survival. From cabin-raising parties to cat-and-mouse games with game wardens, from building forts and go-karts to hunting deer and bear, every chapter pulses with the energy of friendships formed in the solitude of the woods. The land holds secrets just out of sight-hidden under moss and ferns-with local legends of "hairy men" and an illusive stone enclosure suggesting that an ancient presence might still be at work here.

Feel the crisp air and hear the crunch of leaves as you enter this world of storytellers. This unforgettable novel will leave you longing for simpler days: for the quietude of cabin life, the exhilaration of adventure, and above all, a deep connection to Maine's wild beauty and its indomitable people.
