Years ago, in a conversation with a friend about families and family relationships, she observed that everyone should have a cool aunt or uncle in their lives.

A cool aunt or uncle is someone who understands your family’s dynamics, will listen without judging, and keep those conversations confidential.

In the Bennett family—Diana, Stephen, Will and Faye—the cool uncle role is played by Diana’s twin brother, Dan.

Something’s troubling the two Bennett teenagers so in tomorrow’s Carding Chronicle, they’ve turned to Uncle Dan for advice.

Welcome to Carding, Vermont where life always includes a dash of the unexpected. Carding is the small town (population 3,700 or so) that no one can seem to find on a map of the Green Mountain State. But you can find it any time, right here in the Carding Chronicles and in the four novels of Carding, Vermont, The Road Unsalted, Thieves of Fire, The Dazzling Uncertainty of Life, and Lights in Water, Dancing.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
