Description
True North is a powerful and moving novel that explores the complexities of family legacy and the human relationship with the natural world.
The story follows David Burkett, the son of a wealthy timber baron, as he grapples with the consequences of his family's destructive actions on the environment. With the guidance of the unforgettable women in his life, David must come to terms with his forefathers' rapacious destruction of the woods and the working people who made their wealth possible.
This is a deeply human and humorous tale of betrayal, amends, and justice, written with great depth and redemptive soul by one of America's finest writers.
