On Kingdom Mountain — Howard Frank Mosher

Set in northern Vermont in 1930, On Kingdom Mountain recounts the life and times of Miss Jane Hubbell Kinneson. A renowned local bookwoman and bird carver, she is the sole proprietor and last resident of a remote and wild mountain situated on the U.S. -- Canadian border, now threatened by the "Connector," a proposed new highway over her mountain. Abounding with Howard Frank Mosher's trademark action scenes, from daring bank robberies to outrageous comedy to a passionate and surprising love affair, On Kingdom Mountain is rooted deeply in Mosher's own family history, in one of America's last frontiers, and in a way of life on the brink of extinction.
