Short description

Hope—a new beginning, a new life in a new place. Pinewood Lake held that for my family. It was perfect, idyllic. I would be able to write. We would enjoy nature. But then the ugly truth reared its head: ALCOHOLISM. A nasty disease, a destroyer. Even our beautiful lake became infected—muddied with carp, choked by weeds. Now what do we do?

"Sherman’s departure from his usual fare proves that he is one of American’s hidden treasures. The Ballad of Pinewood Lake is a touching, evocative story of the hidden soul of modern America." – Randy Eickhoff, author of The Raid
