"Sunsets on the Mountain" is a charming and humorous novel that blends small-town quirks with larger-than-life characters and chaotic yet heartwarming events. The story revolves around the residents of Knicker's Notch, a tiny Vermont town with a population of eighteen (including a St. Bernard named Abner), and their misadventures after the arrival of Trevor Doyle, a newly appointed town policeman. The narrative is lighthearted, with a strong emphasis on community, misunderstandings, and the absurdity of human nature.
