Book Overview
A "small but remarkable cast of characters occupy a world in the Pacific Northwest that is a sight to behold.... A]n engrossing story about family that is as grounded as it is lofty.... T]he author's gift for storytelling keeps everything in sync...." in this "ambitious, earthly novel..." -A Kirkus starred review
" A] gorgeously written, emotionally resonant novel that layers generational trauma, buried truths, and the unpredictable alchemy of love and loss into a narrative as majestic and perilous as the Farangotta Valley in which it is set." -San Diego Book Review
"Kevin Casanova Abrams crafts a story like a wild mountain run with lots of fun and harrowing twists and turns that send a reader flying through it at a beautiful breakneck pace with little hope of stopping before the end." -Baynard Woods, author of Inheritance
"Abrams' nimble hands have sculpted dynamic, charismatic characters. This is my favorite kind of story: one steeped in emotional complexity that's also pass-the-popcorn fun." -Joshua Mohr, author of Model Citizen
" T]he kind of unique read that only true literary fiction masters can bring to life... and a rich thought-provoking literary journey that lingers long after the final chapter." -Readers' Favorite
A multi-generational epic spanning post-war America through the early aughts, Mt. Forgotten is the first in a trilogy exploring the ever-changing cultural, industrial, and spiritual framework of the fictional town of Fortooth Bend.
Once a thriving swatch of river and mountain, Fortooth Bend is home to the sacred land of the Le'Echuwanna, a tribe of Native Americans who stand as guardian. However, this all changes when William Jefferson Macklemore moves to town and opens Glory Peak. Considered the greatest ski resort in North America, Glory Peak brings money, fame, and 3-star Michelin ratings.
It also brings conflict as a rival group attempts to open a competing ski resort. As tensions turn violent, the Le'Echuwanna look to the most unlikely of locals, Clover Dolores Mackelmore, William's ketamine-slinging, cross-country skiing granddaughter to find peace. Torn between her grandfather's legacy and the Le'Echuwanna's five-hundred-year ways, it's up to Clover to see if terrain as wild as Fortooth can be saved by the rarest of its minerals-compassion.
