About the Author:
Robert Olmstead is the author of five books, including Stay Here With Me (Owl Books 0805053581), American By Land (Owl Books 0805051198) and River Dogs (Owl Books 0805051201). He is currently working on his next novel at his home in Ohio.
From School Library Journal:
YA-- Eddie Ryan, a young mortician, awakes one Christmas morning to find Cody, a freelance lumberjack, at his door. Cody has brought with him not gifts, but the mangled body of his logging partner. Despite their unorthodox introduction, Eddie and Cody forge a friendship and help each other come to grips with their pasts. In the course of the novel, Eddie realizes that every resident of, and therefore every corpse in, his town has a story. It is these stories, and their sometimes sad implications, that help Eddie develop a deeper understanding and love of his family. Olmstead uses his eye for detail to create the realistic town of Inverawe, New Hampshire. It is this attention to detail and his offbeat brand of humor that result in the vivid characterizations of the residents. Some of the quirky personalities include an ex-motorcycle daredevil, his 500-pound wife, and a doctor who sedates rambunctious children. YAs are sure to be be struck by Olmstead's poignant observations on the nature of life and death while they enjoy the book's humor and unusual people. --Phillip Clark, R. E.

Book Description Hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Pages have edge browning common to UK; A New Hampshire town is the microcosm of a world on the edge of damnation in this sprawling, offbeat saga. Eddie Ryan, Vietnam vet and frustrated poet, is a mortician who believes "death is the opposite of love, not life. " Cody, a footloose, renegade logger, bulldozes his way into Ryan's family life, along with one dead buddy snowpacked into the plow of his truck. Cody longs for reconciliation with his estranged wife, drinks too much, rails at human folly and acts as godfather to Eddie's children. The friendship of the two men, punctuated by deaths tragic or bizarre, unfolds in a series of adventures evoking the themes of guilt, redemption, fatherhood and the pained realization that sometimes there are no good choices. ; 9.5 x 6.5 x 1 inches; 401 pages Near Fine editions.
