Vermonter Mona Duval loves the covered bridge beside her store.
Wild Mountain is a page-turning, beautifully written novel about the love between Frank and Mona, the love of place, freedom to marry, and freedom from the past, by a writer whose prose has been compared to Alice Munro\'s..
And then, unexpectedly, Mona\'s abusive ex-husband arrives.
Tensions arise in the town, compounded by resistance to the soon-to-be-voted on Freedom to Marry bill.
But they meet with powerful opposition.
Frank Mac Farland, a seasonal resident who is beguiled by Mona, lends his political expertise to help rebuild the bridge.
But when an ice storm collapses the bridge, she is bereft.
She loves local history and the rugged, rural nature of her home state.
