This is an autobiographical account of some of Don’s memories of growing up in High Falls on the Spanish River Ontario. The narrative is framed in a fictional story with some melodrama and fantasy that takes place over 24 hours at the modern hydro-electric site of High Falls.This is all that remains of the place that had up to 100 residents as a town.The actual town of High Falls was built about 1908 by the Canadian copper company, part of INCO, and disappeared in 1986. The site is now owned by VALE corporation.Moe returns to his place of childhood and trespasses, drawing the attention of company security. They sent an employee to find Moe, who had wandered through the site with his memories, but he could not locate Moe. A search begins, involving police and a helicopter. The crisis ended after Moe spent a cold night huddled in his favorite spot on the hill above the site of the long-disappeared town.The book is a letter to Don’s family and those who lived in High Falls. Other readers may find it enjoyable.
