George McLast has not been a happy man. He's been mourning his wife's death for three years, his financial situation has been worse than ever, he hates where he lives, and he's been getting some very unnerving feelings in his chest. But George isn't quite ready to throw in the towel yet. He still has one burning desire left--to drive across America in his old van. So, after telling himself "no" for far too long, he finally loads a mattress in the back the van and hits the road.
When George first sets out his expectations of what he'll find are low. He hasn't liked the changes he believes America and its people have undergone over the years. But not long after leaving home he meets some very interesting people in campgrounds and begins to reevaluate his negative beliefs. He also finds himself agreeing to take an unlikely traveling companion along with him on his journey. And that works out well, too. But then something even more unexpected happens--something George never in his wildest dreams believed was possible--something that would not only change the course of his trip but the course of his life as well.
A NEW DAWN IN DEER ISLE is a book that will linger in your mind long after you read it. It's a deeply moving story about lost hope, personal rediscovery, renewed optimism, and the human will to go on.
