{"product_id":"one-thousand-days-northern-vermont-1970s-9781637775639","title":"One Thousand Days: Northern Vermont, 1970s","description":"\u003cp\u003eA long-ago walk on Lucas Brook remembered . . . a time when life was unambiguous . . . the certainty of youth . . . a path followed . . . discovery . . . the betrayal of false friends . . . a certainty eroded. Sometimes, reaching back far enough to a time of certainty can help you understand who you are in the present, and maybe who you're not. At times I felt as though I was in the mindset of my earlier self and at others like a stranger in a strange land. Was it a dream; a reality; a butterfly or a man? This story is about the end of an era, as viewed through the lives of a few Long Island youths living on a mountain at the end of Vermont\"s communal movement. There, they chance upon a historical discovery, find an unknown old-growth forest and encounter the world's largest cannon-so this a historical novel. But these tales are based on memories and are as accurate as four-decade-old memories can be. Remembrances although culled over several years, are rarely stored in volumes; they are just snippets, sometimes triggering new memories. Maybe this is a memoir. Yet as memories fill in, the influence of a muse is not always clear, as descriptive fiction is added linking it all together. I confess a small portion has been influenced by extreme creative license. So, perhaps this is a straight-up fiction. Especially since all of the names have been changed. Besides some fiction will provide cover for those who want it. Either way, enjoy the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Red Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50407508934930,"sku":"9781637775639","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a1d9a2b9-df5f-4c1f-b5ab-a987223e5a06.jpg?v=1740429327","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/one-thousand-days-northern-vermont-1970s-9781637775639","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
