Book Overview
One of the Raymonds by Jean Rikhoff is a compelling coming of age novel set in the Adirondack Mountains, serving as the second installment in her North Country trilogy. The story follows fifteen year old Mason Raymond Buttes, a sensitive, intellectual teenager whose return to his family’s rural home becomes a journey of self discovery and maturation. A city bred book lover, Mason, finds himself at odds with his environment: his wealth, scholarly nature, and recent experience of familial tragedy his father’s politically motivated suicide mark him as an outsider in a community that values physical strength and traditional masculinit .
Rikhoff portrays Mason’s internal struggle as he strives to meet the expectations of his admired uncle, Cobus a revered local woodsman and Civil War hero who embodies rugged masculinity. Over the course of the novel, Mason confronts a series of challenges that test both his body and spirit: surviving alone in a snowstorm, competing in a grueling hunting contest, and traveling through the scarred landscape of the post-Reconstruction South. Through these rites of passage, he begins to understand that true strength lies not in brute force, but in emotional depth and personal integrity.
Kirkus Reviews praised the novel as a fine, serious book that makes a much needed reevaluation of the rather tiresome and destructive American myth of man versus the wilderness, concluding that it’s more than that… very well written, bordering on the edges of sentimentality. In this way, Rikhoff challenges the traditional frontier narrative moving beyond the simplistic wilderness conquest myth and offering a nuanced portrait of a young man navigating privilege, loss, and identity in a harsh natural world.
At its heart, One of the Raymonds is both a family saga and a thoughtful critique of American masculinity. Mason’s experiences compel him to forge his own sense of self one rooted in introspection rather than machismo. Through vivid narrative and richly drawn episodes, Rikhoff makes the wilderness a character in itself one that shapes, tests, and ultimately reveals the complexities of growing up. This novel is ideal for readers who appreciate character-driven historical fiction, reflective explorations of youth, and stories that question conventional ideals of strength and success.
