Life on a Cliff
A Novel
Langbeschreibung
Life On A Cliff is the highly-anticipated sequel to Payne's award-winning novel Cliff Walking. Famous seascape artist Francis Monroe has come to love Kate Johnson and her artistic son Stringer, who were tracked from California to Maine by their abusive husband and father, Leland. After surviving a brutal attack and a subsequent grueling trial, Francis assumes they can all enjoy a normal life together. Kate, however, is anything but settled as her old demons of addiction and self-destructive behavior threaten to destroy the good life they have fought so hard to create. Set on the breathtakingly beautiful coast of Maine, Life On A Cliff explores how deeply rooted we are in our established ways and that change, in its many forms, can be exceedingly hard to accept-even if it is for the better.
Payne is a fourth generation Vermonter from the legendary Northeast Kingdom. He holds his MA in English from Tufts University, and his MD from the University of Vermont, where he has been a Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery since 1988. Payne has been writing most of his life and has published many journal and magazine articles, as well as four previous books. He has been mentored by Howard Frank Mosher and other prominent writers. He practices general surgery in northwestern Vermont and lives on an organic farm with his family. He raises money from sales of his books for worthy organizations, including Prevent Child Abuse Vermont, the Lake Champlain Land Trust, area food shelves, and others. Payne makes appearances at bookstores, book fairs, libraries, reading groups, and other events in support of his books.
