"I'm a big believer in good first lines to novels, and Alan Proctor grabs you from the first sentence." -Frank Higgins, playwright, author of Black Pearl Sings. "This jewel of a novel ... reminds readers of the vulnerability and gifts of summer .... I fell right into the characters, the setting and the drama ...." -Denise Low, 2007-2009 Poet Laureate of Kansas, author of Melange Block and Jackalope. "Alan Proctor's Adirondack Summer, 1969, is a meditation on grief and loss, told with the verve of a John Irving novel. Proctor's vivid sense of place makes the novel's setting-an arts camp in the Adirondacks-a character in its own right. His cast, led by Deidre and Myron Cravitz, weave a gorgeous, often comic, tapestry of their delusions, loves, and dreams. Any reader booking a cabin at Camp Cravitz should prepare to be moved and entertained." -Whitney Terrell, author of The Good Lieutenant.
