Lucky Piece: A Story of the North Woods
Lucky Piece: A Story of the North Woods
In the misty Adirondack mountains of northern New York, a young man trades his most cherished possession, a 'lucky piece,' to a berry seller by the roadside when fares run short. That single act sets in motion a summer of intertwined fates. Constance, a wild spirit who refuses to be controlled, and Frank, heir to a wealthy family bound by expectation, find themselves drawn to the mysterious Robin and the quietly renowned Edith Morrison at a mountain lodge. As mushrooms are gathered and relationships bloom and fracture, the lucky piece passes from hand to hand, becoming a talisman that binds their hearts together. Albert Bigelow Paine writes with luminous affection for the North Woods, capturing both its dangerous beauty and the untamed spirits it shelters. Those who crave gentle adventure and old-fashioned romance, where the wilderness becomes a character in itself, will find this tale hard to put down.
