"May You Meet a Stranger" is the first in the Logger's Ridge series and tells Teddy's story. It was written as a stand-alone work and may still be read as one. The other volumes that follow it build on its locales and characters. It starts first but does not end until after the end of the second book in the series. A young pianist and his newfound singer girlfriend use their music to rescue a historical resort from bankruptcy and reverse the economic downturn of their small town while falling in love.
