Dave Carty of Bozeman is the author of the debut novel Leaves on Frozen Ground. Meet the Vaillancourt family, where 11 year old Edmund loves the wild country beyond his family's orchard. He is stubborn and willful with a heart that is owned by his dog and a land that can be unforgiving. He finds himself alone in the woods while a killer storm is bearing down on him. His border collie, Breeze is by his side is all he has to keep warm. The book explores what happens when economic and personal bonds are torn apart and tragedy strikes. Telling the story of a small family's struggles and loss stretches them to the limits of family union and love. From beginning to end the vivid descriptions and careful character development prove this story to be the work of a keen observer of the human condition.
