Sinopsis

The Light in the Clearing follows Bart Baynes, a seven-year-old boy who discovers the value of family, honesty, and community in the North Country during 1831. This coming‑of‑age tale blends intimate memories with the bigger world of politics and friendship.


As Bart grows, he meets iconic figures and learns from them without losing his own sense of right and wrong. Through quiet moments on the farm, he encounters love, danger, and the everyday courage of ordinary people navigating a changing nation.

  • A boy’s inaugural look at leadership, integrity, and personal growth.

  • Warm, timeless relationships with family, friends, and neighbors.

  • Historical glimpses of notable figures and the era’s political texture.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Light in the Clearing: A Tale of the North Country in the Time of Silas Wright

The Light in the Clearing shone upon many things and mostly upon those which, above all others, have impassioned and perpetuated the Spirit of America and which, just now, seem to me to be worthy of attention. I believe that spirit to be the very candle of the Lord which, in this dark and windy night of time, has flickered so that the souls of the faithful have been afraid. But let us be of good cheer. It is shining brighter as I write and, under God, I believe it shall, by and by, be seen and loved of all men.
