Greater Clements - Paperback

In the fictional mining town of Greater Clements, Idaho, wealthy out-of-staters have begun purchasing properties, leaving lifelong residents - largely blue-collar workers - disenfranchised and disenchanted. Practical, unpretentious Maggie, the divorced owner of a failing Mine Tour and Museum business, cares for her troubled adult son, who has moved back home to recover. As Maggie contemplates closing her business, an old flame visits and asks her to join him in a new life beyond the desolate town's limits. Through quirky humor, keen observation, and deeply sensitive and idiosyncratic characters, Greater Clements explores just how hard it can be to leave one's past behind.
