Six old women living on an isolated island in Lake Winnipesaukee; teenagers vacationing on Newfound lake in 1959; paragliders and skiers on Cannon Mountain; an old woman in a house covered in gypsy moths; a man living off the grid in a shack he built himself... The characters in these stories all keep secrets. They are as tough and rugged as New Hampshire's iconic Old Man in the Mountain. And like the Old Man, who fell in 2003, their pasts survive only in memory. Sometimes, that's a good thing.
