Paperback. Zustand: Good. What would you do if you were granted your heart's desire--the one thing in life that you wanted the most--but then found out that you had only a limited time in which to enjoy it? What would you do if you were given knowledge and power, even to the point of delaying death, but then found out that such a gift might cost you your soul? A young man in Chicago faced the first question. At the same time and the same age, a young man in Boston faced the second one.

His longing for the solitude and natural beauty that Thoreau found on Walden Pond led him to buy an abandoned log cabin and its surrounding forty acres in Alder Creek, a town considered small even by Idaho standards.

Despite the initial hardships, he came to realize that reality was far better than his wistful fantasies. Instead of solitude, he found a warm, welcoming community; instead of rural stolidity, he found intelligence and wisdom; instead of relaxation, he found satisfaction in working the land. What began as a two-year experiment became a seven-year love affair with a town he'll always consider home.…
