Ohhhh thank you. I just assume that’s the NorthEast part of the state then?

There's a really good novel set in NEK about a single black father that comes to town. It's set in the 20th century, but it sounds like things have not changed so much.

There is also a movie based on the novel, but the novel is much better. Howard Frank Mosher novels chronicle Vermont of yesteryear. I read all of them when I first arrived in Vermont as they resonate with the present.
