All the Flowers of the Mountain is a novel set in a small town in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. While the story and all the characters are works of the imagination, the towns of Franconia, Sugar Hill and Littleton all exist. Summer people still swim at Profile Lake, and Cannon Mountain is popular for summer hikes and winters on the ski slopes.

The winding rivers and dirt roads haven’t changed too much since the late 1970’s when much of this story takes place. The Sugar Hill Sampler and Polly’s Pancake Parlor are still favorites with visitors and locals!
