A Fortnight with Ben
A seemingly normal wilderness retreat along the Appalachian Trail suddenly becomes a journey of intrigue and discovery when a severe thunderstorm introduces Sam Fletcher to a great historical figure, Benjamin Franklin. This unlikely encounter in an even less likely setting provides the backdrop for a voyage of discovery, in which scientific, artistic, political and social aspects of modern life are explored.
The impossibility of the encounter gradually becomes a plausible experience for the characters as they transcend time between colonial and modern perspectives. Ben Franklin’s views, positions, and personality are brought to life in this serious and humorous tale.
A wonderful read for all, from teens to seniors.
