Going to the Sun

A remembrance of five generations of log cabin life inside Glacier Park. It traces the ups and downs of one isolated, insulated, alienated family living for over a century on the shores of Lake McDonald - and one boy growing up in it. It speaks to the tales of Apgar, a village that lives no more, where time was lost and no one learned to hate, where heaven and hell, an enchanted forest, greed and revenge, buried gold and an unsolved murder, a lake with a drowned bride in its depths, from crime to confession unfold. Haunted by a family of living ghosts, a glowing masterpiece hanging in a museum, the solitary millionaire who began it all, the squandering son who came to be called Guppy Grim, daffy wives, jolly uncles and termites of the soul, Robin Hoodwinker remembers, on these cheerful and heartbreaking pages, Glacier and the village come to be known as the summer home of Santa Claus.
