Wonders to Behold

About the Book

In the first chapter Wilma has the couple’s first child – a girl in the family home at Willow Lake under a most unusual circumstance with only sister-wife Lucy-Ann to attend.

Lucy-Ann and Will work together tirelessly to construct another of Wilma’s muskrat dam projects and hilly borrows their little bulldozer, builds a raft and floats it to their homestead on Bannock Lake.

Tragedy strikes when the Brasfield house burns to the ground and from all beliefs only two people survive. Chapter four passes by rather uneventful except for the beginning of the new trapping season.

Another wife is added to the fold. The two Buttram families get together for a goose and duck hunt which would begin an annual thing with them.

Throughout chapter six Will and family begin a quest to free as many oppressed girls as they can with help from Lucy-Ann’s Uncle Elmer.

Meghan and her sister Martha experience a beautiful Christmas like they haven’t seen since they were small children.

Meghan and Will strike out for Lilley Lake to begin trapping operations there.

The Buttram Family were slapped in the face by discrimination and Will buys his Cousin Liam’s property. Lucy-Ann joins Will at Lilley Lake. Meanwhile a banished Amish girl joins the ranks at Willow Lake.

Meghan returns home with a friend who has fled to begin work at Bennett’s north End Post.

Another runner joins the ranks and uses Will badly for her own wants and gains. On March 4th Lucy-Ann gives birth to a boy – again at The Homestead.

The trapping finally winds down and Lucy-Ann and Will head on home to finish out the season.

About the Author

Milton Ramsden still resides in Ear Falls, a small town in northwestern Ontario with his wife Martha. Milt still loves to manage and maintain his own registered trapline which is located 50 miles northeast of Ear Falls. His main trapline cabin is situated on an ‘L’ shaped peninsula between Sweetheart Bay to the west, Freeze Up Bay to the north and Eagle Bay to the east on the scenic and beautiful Confederation lake. There he spends a considerable amount of time and within the quiet and peaceful confines of his cabin Milt does all of his writing which has now become quite a serious and enjoyable passion. With the closure of Ear Falls Contracting where Milt worked for so many glorious years he now works for Raleigh Falls Timber. He still dabbles in wood working, crafting heavy duty boat paddles for the tourist trade and builds one of a kind furniture from pine and diamond willow. Milt and Martha recently purchased a quarter of land at St. Laurent, Manitoba and together he and Martha plan on building on it for their retirement. Milt loves good Country music…especially Hank Williams who in his mind is and was the greatest singer/songwriter to have ever lived. He also loves his family deeply, along with trapping of course, hunting, fishing, gardening, good friends, solitude and now writing books. He has to date written two books about his earlier life.
