Description
A Journey from Boyhood Innocence to War-Weary Self-Understanding and Hope
As the American Civil War rages on, young Waldo Potter finds himself torn between duty, family, and the promise of a future he can barely grasp. Under his useless father's management their rural New York farm is teetering on the brink of ruin, and Waldo shoulders the burden of responsibility far beyond his years. Under the stern yet guiding hand of his Uncle Charles, he learns the harsh realities of farm life, but nothing can prepare him for the deeper struggles--grief, loyalty, and the shadows of war that stretch even to the quiet shores of Solon Pond.
While soldiers march and battles rage in the distance, Waldo fights his own war at home, navigating long-held family tensions, devastating loss, and the complexities of love and sacrifice. As he grows into manhood, he must decide what kind of future he will carve out for himself in a world forever changed.
A poignant coming-of-age tale infused with the rugged beauty of rural life, By the Shores of Solon Pond is a moving tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, the unbreakable bonds of family, and the enduring power of hope--even in the face of war. Perfect for fans of historical fiction and heartfelt narratives, Adrienne Morris delivers a story rich with emotion, depth, and unforgettable characters.
