In Caddis Wood

"Hallie has always put her family above her career as a poet, while Carl's life has been defined by his demanding work as an architect--work that has earned him an international reputation. When the onset of a debilitating illness and the discovery of Hallie's cache of letters from another man set Carl reeling, he starts to question not only his previously unshakeable belief in himself but also his faith in Hallie's devotion. With their marriage in the balance, the family gathers at their beloved summer home in Wisconsin, and husband and wife look back on the changing seasons of their long years together. With elegance and skill, Rockcastle shows how their shared memories are reflected in the endangered but enduring woods and fields around them"--Cover p. [4].
