Fellowship Point (2022)
Alice Elliott Dark
"Fellowship Point is deeply relevant in its concerns - about the land, the creatures who inhabit it, and the legacies of ownership, stewardship, and friendship - but it's also just a great, absorbing, and transformative read. Like a Maine glade, Dark's book is filled with light."
