I couldn't believe I was in the middle of the thunder cloud. It grew very dark, almost like nighttime. Clouds swirled all around me with high winds. I hugged the boulder to keep the winds from blowing me off the mountain. My heart pounded as though it were going to burst.\u003cbr\u003eLightning continued to flash. Loose rocks rolled by me, and little streams of rushing water threatened to cause a minor landslide. I prayed the boulder I was hugging would stay put.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's 1968 and twenty-year-old Wayne is looking for a little summer romance and some real adventure before he buckles down for a hard school year in the fall. And when he gets a summer job at gorgeous Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, he can hardly believe his luck. There are stunning mountains to climb, pretty girls in abundance, and loads of fun things to do with all the other young people working there. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong with scaling some of Maligne Lake's impressive peaks, an ambitious activity that on one foolhardy excursion almost costs him his life, Wayne's got big things he wants to do before he settles down. He has no intention at all of getting seriously involved with any girl. But man plans and God laughs, as the saying goes, and when Wayne gets romantically entangled with lovely, spirited, sweet Eileen, his personal agenda begins to go seriously astray.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet in a more innocent time, amidst stunning vistas, sixties pop music, and twenty-something angst, That Summer in Jasper Park teaches us that once true love comes into the picture our best-laid plans can go completely awry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67672353276127,"sku":"9781038335814","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/B9xbptF3jJ9781038335814.webp?v=1790553078"},{"product_id":"really-granddad-paperback","title":"Really, Granddad? - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eA young girl climbs up on her grandfather's knee, looks up at him with her big eyes and says, \"Granddad, tell me another story.\" And Granddad is happy to oblige. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are the tales of Wayne Sherrard. Some are homespun, workaday little family stories and some are far more dramatic - from encountering the vengeful side of gophers and discovering the personalities of cows to creating a (short-lived) teen pirate radio station and fighting to get maple tree sap. The settings are fascinating rural locations in the Canadian Maritimes, Ontario, Europe, Alberta, and Canada's Arctic. They succinctly capture memorable moments of life for a boy growing up in an air force family during the fifties and sixties and entering young manhood in the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReally, Granddad? is a collection of fifty very short, highly entertaining, positive stories for both children and adults. This book chronicles the arc of a mischievous little boy to a young man of ethics, and celebrates the power and beauty of family love across the generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68035431334111,"sku":"9781525550584","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/gYt3JUMoT-9781525550584.webp?v=1792032675"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/wayne-sherrard.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
