A View from Vermont
by Helen Husher

The United States of America is a vast, ever changing mixture of people, places, and events. Americans readily identify with their nation, as well as their region, state, town, and neighborhood. The tighter the focus, the quirkier the characteristics--although common themes of community, commerce, and commitment abound.

In this wonderfully written book, author Helen Husher examines everyday life in Vermont, a state celebrated for its individuality and ingenuity. With deep appreciation and understated humor, she explores "the erratic heartbeat that propels the Vermont temperament," as the lifeblood of its people flows between its dual chambers of individuality and community.

This collection of essays reflects on everyday encounters in the Green Mountain State, from the thrall of the tractor to the presence of an Egyptian mummy.

"Endlessly, joyously inventive, Helen Husher writes with ferocity, grace, and wit about unknown and unappreciated corners of Vermont. Off the Leash is a perfect gift for the intellectually adventurous traveler, or for the connoisseur of fine writing who never leaves the house."
--Tim Clark, Yankee magazine
