About This Book
A busy young businessman takes a forced vacation to a rural town and becomes entangled in a comic romance that alternates between sharp commercial dealings and social flirtations. He encounters a lively woman and a cast of local characters while negotiating timber purchases, attending dances, missing appointments, and enduring interrupted proposals. The narrative balances witty scenes of bargaining and urban small-talk with moments of sentimental awkwardness as business pursuits and personal attachments collide, culminating in a negotiated partnership that transforms both his professional plans and his prospects for companionship.
