The Other Side of the Lake

After 20 months in Asia in the early 1960s, Rob Jamison returned home to central Vermont to find no job, his girlfriend curiously estranged, and his idyllic lakeside community misguided, debased and divided. With the help of his Peace Corps buddy and the discovery of a bountiful treasure, Rob is energized to overcome the many daunting challenges confronting him. He starts by initiating a promising career with a leading venture capital company in Boston. On a parallel track, he advances a bold political agenda to seek redemption and rejuvenation for his Vermont hometown. And very importantly to him, he strives to revive the romance with the girl he deeply loves by persevering and reinforcing the qualities she always admired: his gallant charm, caring character, and unwavering loyalty.
