This had been on my Kindle for a long time and I was in the mood for a quick read and something light.

Carlisle McMillan arrives in the small town of Salamander near Wolf Butte. His arrival is not celebrated, with the exception of a Native American and two women. Carlisle, a master carpenter, buys a rundown farmhouse and begins to rebuild it. Just as it is finished the state plans to run a road directly through his house. Can the few people opposed to the new highway stop it before it destroys his home and the endangered birds living near his property?
