"Robert J. Romano knows just about all there is to know about the trout, rivers and lakes, wildlife, people, and history, and big woods of northern Maine. [His new book] is a fine tribute to one of the last wilderness enclaves of New England and to the tough resourceful, kind-hearted, and ever so independent-minded people who eke out a living there."- Howard Frank Mosher, author of eight novels including Waiting For Teddy Williams. "Bob Romano knows the salmon lakes and the piney woods and small towns of northeastern Maine. He knows fly fishing, and he knows the human heart and he writes about them in clear, evocative prose." - William G. Tapply, author of the Brady Coyne and the Stoney Calhoun novels. "Western Maine...was scraped, scooped, and shaped by glaciers, leaving behind a hardscrabble landscape of rock, forest, lake, river and brook to nurture the lives of only the most resolute people. Bob Romano brings us nature as nurturer, the chemistry and characters of the small town, the restorative powers of fishing, and a sense of place that rings true." - Joseph Heywood, author of numerous novels including his Woods Cop novels. |
