Roscoe Paine lives quietly on Cape Cod with his invalid mother, the tart housekeeper Dorinda and her talkative husband Lute, and has given up any ambition he once had. When the wealthy Colton family arrive for the summer and their proud daughter Mabel takes an interest in his household, Roscoe is drawn into village quarrels and a chance to prove himself.

A humorous, affectionate Cape Cod novel full of salty local characters, by the region’s most popular storyteller. Download the free EPUB.
