What I'm Reading - Disappearances - Howard Frank Mosher

"Disappearances chronicles the efforts of Wild Bill Bonhomme and his larger-than-life father, Quebec Bill, to save the family farm. Desperate to raise money to preserve his endangered cattle herd at the end of a long winter, Quebec Bill resorts to the high-stakes world of whiskey smuggling, a traditional family occupation along the Vermont-Canada border in 1932. On an epic journey through the wilderness, the father and son encounter a cast of wild characters — and live out magical escapades as they carve their way into legend."

I still can't exactly tell if the towns in the story are made up or not...but all of his books have been great. They really put you in touch with a different way of life.
