Into the Wilderness - Paperback

by Deborah Lee Luskin (Author)

Could there be two people more different? It's 1964, and Rose Mayer is recently widowed, a Democrat, and Jewish. When she meets Percy Mendell, a born and bred Vermonter who has never married and never voted for a Democrat, they clash before a surprising romance springs up. At age 64, they both must employ their humor, wit and compassion to even consider the other. Set against the backdrop of Vermont's changing season and shifting political landscape, Into the Wilderness is both a love story and a testament to the surprising flexibility of the human heart.
