Summer of the White Fawn

Disturbing events at home see Connor Benton spending summer break at his grandparents’ remote lake cabin. On the very first morning, he stumbles across a newly born, white-furred orphan fawn. Although against the law, Connor wants to keep the unique creature, hoping to care for it until it can fend for itself. While attempting to sneak the fawn into the bunkhouse, he’s confronted by Olivia, a girl with private problems of her own. She promises to keep his secret, and Connor sees no other option but to accept Olivia’s help. It’s good he does because, as he soon discovers, Mother Nature isn’t always a kind hearted caregiver

Ron Gamer Now “semi-retired” after four fun-filled decades of teaching “middle graders,” educator/outdoorsman Ron Gamer chose to channel excess energy into authoring classroom-friendly outdoor adventure aimed primarily at reluctant adolescent readers. Summer of the White Fawn is his fifth “Up North” title.  Native to Minnesota, Ron and his wife, Madeleine, are the proud parents of two lovely daughters and grandparents of five healthy, active grandchildren. Ron and Madeleine split time between a home in Hanover and a lake dwelling near Garrison, a hundred miles to the north. When not in the woods, perched in a tree with camera or bow, or inside, working on a new outdoor adventure story, Ron enjoys taking his little tent and campfire production, “Stirring up a Story,” out and about.
