An impressive and witty portrait of American life.

In A Town In A Home, first time novelist Terry deFranco Martino introduces us to the down-home world of the Adirondacks of upstate New York. Martino keeps us enthralled with the page turning pace as we encounter protective mother bears, a one-eyed, three-legged dog, a caged fake parrot who talks, and a host of fictional but realistic players who inhabit this remote part of America. This entertaining portrait of small town life and culture features a city boy looking for a change of pace in the mountains. His big city smarts are challenged when he finds more than he bargained for; eccentric natives, plotting and dangerous beaurocrats, and new insights into relationships and himself. Don't miss this witty slice of Americana Martino has effectively captured in A Town In A Home.
