Summary
A collection of nine interrelated stories is set in the small town of Abbott Falls, Maine, and follows the community's reaction to a devastating mill strike, during which a man on the brink of retirement finds new purpose in building an ark in his backyard.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Acclaimed novelist Monica Wood again turns her keen eye and wry humor to small town Maine. Nine interrelated stories create a layered and complex portrait of a community in the midst of crisis as a strike wears on at the paper mill, and the residents of Abbott Falls feel the reverberations of the town s shifting fortune. Ernie, just days shy of retirement when the strike hits, finds new purpose in building an ark in the backyard. Written with a quiet grace and lyrical power, Ernie s Ark is a moving work by a writer who understands the vagaries and hopes of the human heart.
