Official synopsis Publisher
At fifty-something, environmental reporter Mitch Rozier has grown estranged from Seattle’s coffee shop and cyber culture. His newspaper is going under, and his relationship with Lexa McCaskill is stalled at “just living together.” Then, he is summoned by his sly, exasperating father, Lyle, back to the family land, which Lyle plans to sell in the latest of his get-rich schemes before dying. Lexa follows, accompanied by her sister Mariah, and the stage is set for long-overdue confrontations — between lovers, sisters, and father and son. Mountain Time is distinguished by humor and a wry insight into the power of family feuds to mark individuals and endure. Set against the glorious backdrop of Montana mountain country, it is a dazzling novel of love, family, and the contemporary West.
