Down to the River
Down to the River is a family saga set in the late 1960s in Cambridge, Massachusetts against the backdrop of the Vietnam War. Twin brothers, Nash and Remi Potts, have grown up as entitled, Harvard-educated, golden boys, heirs to an old, but dwindling family fortune. With the passage of time, the gold veneer of prosperity begins to chip away, and their lives begin to falter. We meet Remi and Nash in 1968, in their mid-forties and partners in a sporting goods store in Harvard Square. The twins' marriages are in trouble. Their youngest children, Chickie and Hen (mistakes, they're often called....), are coming of age during the turbulent urban wilderness of the late 1960s-- school bomb threats, racial tensions, war protests and demonstrations at Harvard and beyond. With all hell breaking loose at home, and any semblance of "parenting" hanging ragged in the wind, the two cousins are left largely to their own devices. Suddenly freed from old rules and restrictions, they head out onto the streets of Cambridge, which become their concrete playground, tumbling headlong into a world of politics, sex, drugs, rock and roll.

Hard Bottom
Caught between the increasingly industrialized fishing business and the relentless development of his native Cape Cod, Ollie Cahoon, thirty-six and working a dragger out of Chatham, Massachusetts, feels ever more adrift both at sea and on land. In a desperate effort to compete with the huge, mechanized boats of large-scale fisheries, Ollie goes deeply into debt, yet still finds himself fishing the "hard bottom" rock- and debris-strewn beds avoided by larger boats. When his mate Pig leaves for more lucrative work, Ollie reluctantly hires his brother-in-law, whose innocent but costly mistake only adds to Ollie's troubles. On shore, Ollie faces the disintegration of his marriage and separation from his young son. On top of everything else, Ollie has become the town pariah, since his refusal to sell water rights to land he owns stands in the way of a discount mall that may save the town's faltering economy. Beaten down by his financial, marital, and legal burdens, Ollie is slowly but inexorably driven toward a final desperate stand.
