	According to the publishers, "Between these covers are open spaces, 

small towns, skeletons in the closets, blue skies, big storms and more - all 

in a region that has never been quite sure how to define itself."

	Singer has published a number of short stories and has written for 

national magazines. Burdick, in addition to editing publications for 

St. Lawrence, is the editor of Adirondac magazine and writes frequently
