Nights Below Station Street by David Adams Richards - October 11, 1997

Richard's novel is a powerful tale of resignation and struggle, fierce loyalties and compassion. This is the first in his acclaimed Miramichi trilogy. Set in a small mill town in northern New Brunswick, it draws us into the lives of a community of people who live there, including: Joe Walsh, isolated and strong in the face of a drinking problem; his wife, Rita, willing to believe the best about people; and their teenage daughter Adele, whose nature is rebellious and wise and whose nature is rebellious and wise and whose love for her father wars with her desire for independence.
