Synopses & Reviews
The final chapters of Scott Waldies iconic Travers Corners trilogy.Travers Corners, Montana, is not much more than Main Street. Theres Eds Garage and Filling Station; McCrackens General Storestill owned and run by Junior, the worst fisherman who ever lived to fish; the Tin Cup Bar and Cafe; Doloress Beauty Parlor; and The Carrie Creek Boat Works and Guide ServiceJudson C. Clark proprietor.
And yet, Travers Corners is also much more than that main street: its an outpost for all things wild and beautifulrivers and creeks, wildlife, cattle ranches, glaciated benchlands sweeping into the timbered mountains. Travers is a fly-fishing paradise. And it is people with the same cast of witty homespun characters” (Library Journal) as Waldies first book of stories, Travers Corners. Now, in Travers Corners: The Final Chapters, Waldie delivers the final volume in the series, bringing joy and tears, love and closure to the lives of the characters weve grown to know and care so much about.
The simplicity of the rural West beckons from every tale: wisdom, trust, and good deeds, the loyalty of friends, the love of wild places, a respect for all living thingswritten with a wit that puts it all in perspective. The world would be a better place if we had all spent a spell in Travers Corners.
