From singer songwriter David Nash, a heart felt reimagining tale of the folk legend Paul Bunyan. This is a novel that was meant be heard. Read by the author, The Man in the Pines is Nash's first novel. It is a tale of demi-god strength, love lost, hubris, and destruction. It is a story of conservation and, hopefully, redemption. It is the life of Paul Bunyan you've never heard before.
