Announcing the debut Novel by Kevin Stone.

The Onion Ring Lovers (Guide to Vermont) A Novel

Many children wish that every day could be Christmas. For one year, young Jim Sutton and his family found themselves living that dream. As dreams go, however, it turned out to be more of a nightmare. From 1977 through early 1978, the Sutton clan lived as permanent residents in a year-round Christmas attraction named, appropriately enough, Christmas Town.

The Sutton clan uprooted their lives and bought-in to their new lives on a tiny island in the middle of Lake Champlain. They bought a snack stand concession in Christmas Town, where (Dad) believed they would make their fortunes in a forever Winter Wonderland. None of the Suttons expected that this seemingly idyllic setting would lead to tragedy.

Twenty-two years later, a grown Jim Sutton ventures out to write his novel. His muse: onion rings. In his beat-up, rusted-out heap of a car, Jim returns to the state he once swore he would never visit again. He navigates his way through the countryside, sampling onion rings for his book, The Onion Ring Lover's Guide to Vermont. When an accident strands him in the sleepy town of Strawberry Falls, little does Jim know that another dark family secret hides beneath the surface of this seemingly idyllic little New England town.
