The author of "Raft of Stars" returns with a family drama about a schoolteacher's scheme to save his marriage by buying a run-down rafting company and uprooting his family to Wisconsin's Northwoods.

With the country locked in ice, "True North," Andrew J. Graffs warmhearted story about a summer of white-water rafting, sounds like the vacation we all need. Graffs second novel offers just enough drama to be exciting and just enough reassurance that everybody will get home safe.
