Publisher's Summary:

Tucked into the north Maine woods, along the west branch of the Penobscot River, is the fly fishing destination town of Roslyn. The river, and dozens of streams in the valley, are waters famous for the fish they hold. Ben Garrison, a beautiful, gentle young man with a skeletal deformity and a bad limp evolves into the most capable, accomplished hermit in town; he is a master gardener, a gourmet chef, a poet and a Zen-like fly fisher, and a confidant of the lovely farmhand Annie Nielson. After an unspeakable tragedy, Annie and Ben explore the dynamics of an unlikely relationship. Annie must discover her own destiny while coming to grips with her untold dreams, and with her conflicting commitment to helping on the family farm, all the while fishing for the salmon and trout that are native to the cold, clear waters in the mountain streams. There are life lessons within the minutes, and there is even a little fly fishing.

Members Reviews:

touching book

This is a romantics view of life , fly fishing and life in the wilds of Maine. Worth a look, esp. if you have some familiarity with any of the above subjects. Told by one who is obviously used to spinning a yarn, and keeping an audience entertained. Good intro novella

Great story

Headline "great story ".Held my interest all through the book look fwd to another by denis dauphinee as soon as i can get this dumb review over

Boring love story.

Excellent book about fly fishing techniques, but somewhat bland, almost like a chick flick book about love. Forced myself to finish it. I don't recommend it.

Dauphinee catches the big one with his novel The River Home

Most of us who write want to write a novel, plan to write a novel, have tried to write a novel, or have written an unpublished novel. I recently launched my third attempt at writing a novel, fervently believing the mantra: if at first you donât succeed, try, try, again.

I am learning that it takes a great idea, a ton of effort, some real writing talent, and a lot of luck to write and publish a novel. I actually ran out of story at about 2000 words in my previous attempts, but this time, Iâm already up to 6,000! Just 44,000 to go.

So letâs start by applauding Denis D Dauphineeâs perseverance in not only writing a very good novel, but in finding a publisher who believed in it.

The River Home was published by North Country Press in Unity, Maine, and itâs a keeper. Dâs other book, Stoneflies and Turtleheads, also published by North Country Press, is a work of nonfiction, all about fly fishing. And he carries the fly fishing theme through The River Home.

But itâs not all about fly fishing. Thereâs love and tragedy, hope and renewal, in a small rural Maine town, with plenty of references to actual places so that the story seems all so real. I laughed. I cried. I couldnât wait to read the next chapter.

I even appreciated the fact that the print is large â very suitable for tired old eyes like mine.

My wife Linda and I were attracted to the book as soon as we saw the cover, a beautiful pony-tailed blond girl fly fishing on a stream.
