A Light like Ida Lupino

Lincoln Heath has done something unforgiveable. After some time away he has returned to the northern Michigan peninsula where the event occurred. He lives near his grandmother and helps her in her struggle to keep her financially-troubled cherry orchard, as more and more of the cherry-growers are losing their land to upscale vintners and condo builders. The peninsula has changed some from when Lincoln last lived there—all digital devices have been deactivated, Old Bull Nestor is using his bulldozer to remove the blacktop from all the roads, smugglers haunt the bay—but some things remain the same: there are many who still remember and despise him. But Lincoln has come looking not for forgiveness, but in hopes of finding some way to restore the parts of his emotional spectrum he has lost.
