More about the book
Colleen and Rich Gundersen are raising their young son, Chub, on the rugged California coast. It's 1977, and life in their Pacific Northwest logging town isn't what it used to be. Colleen is an amateur midwife. Rich is a tree-topper, a dangerous job that requires him to scale trees hundreds of feet tall-and a job that both his father and grandfather died doing. Colleen and Rich both want a better life for their son, but as each takes steps to assure his future, they find themselves on opposite sides of a budding conflict that threatens the very thing they are trying to protect: their family. Told in prose as clear as a spring-fed creek, Damnation Spring is an extraordinary story of the transcendent, enduring power of love-between husband and wife, mother and child, and within a tight-knit community on the brink. An essential novel for our times.
