At the Sign of the Fox: A Romance

In a world that straddles bustling Manhattan and the tranquil hills of the Moosatuk valley, a young woman named Brooke navigates the expectations of her well‑connected family. Her father Adam, a city‑born country gentleman, and her mother Pamela, a Virginia‑raised hostess, surround her with a colorful cast of relatives, friends, and eccentric locals. The story opens with a quiet hunt along the river, where seasoned residents like Dr. Russell and the stoic Robert Stead pause to watch the water’s slow, stubborn flow.

Brooke’s keen eye for possibilities draws her toward people who see the world differently—her brother Adam the Cub, the idealistic artist Marte Lorenz, and the pragmatic Lucy Dean. As the river carves its path between industry and wilderness, the characters confront choices about love, duty, and the pull of tradition versus personal desire. Listeners will be swept into the gentle drama of family gatherings, whispered confidences, and the subtle tension that builds when hearts begin to race. The novel offers a thoughtful romance rooted in the rhythms of early‑century rural life.
