Reviews
"From the first page to the last, Froelich's Ladder brims with color, intrigue, and verve. At once a fantastical, madcap adventure and a poignant meditation on independence and solitude, it's the kind of book that captivates you quickly and whisks you high into the atmosphere. I was in thrall to the surreal Oregon landscape, populated by tycoons and grifters, cross-dressers and hungry clouds. This debut is clever, irreverent, and ultimately unforgettable." - Leslie Parry, author of Church of Marvels "A wild odd funny picaresque headlong fervent fever dream of a dense moist prickly novel - the most unusual fiction I have read in years." - Brian Doyle, author of Mink River "Half (extremely) tall tale, half picaresque quest, and all entertaining, Froelich's Ladder paints a picture of the American frontier that's more original--yet perhaps more true--than any I've encountered in a long, long time. Readers who appreciate the cockeyed historical vision of writers like Charles Portis, Thomas Berger, Richard Brautigan, and Patrick deWitt need to add Jamie Duclos-Yourdon to their to-read lists today." - Steve Hockensmith, New York Times bestselling author of Holmes on the Range and The White Magic Five and Dime "Three words: inventive, intrepid, imaginative. Froelich's Ladder blends the best elements of magic and realism, conveying characters and readers alike into the familiar fog-enshrouded world of Oregon where anything but the familiar happens." - Gina Ochsner, author of The Hidden Letters of Velta B. "Froelich's Ladder is a delight: sneaky, wise, hilarious. In thinking of Jamie Duclos-Yourdon's spectacular debut, I'm put in mind of another tall tale, Huck Finn, whose title character said of his author, 'There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth.' Froelich's Ladder tells the truth of America, with astonishing insight, invention, and grace." - Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of She's Not There and Stuck in the Middle with You "In Froelich's Ladder, Jamie Duclos-Yourdon debuts an impeccably crafted adventure in the best tall tale tradition. The men and women of his frontier Oregon are keenly drawn and brilliantly, painfully human, as is the book itself, touched with wit and whimsy and saturated with longing. Duclos-Yourdon's deft, lyrical prose gives the novel an impressive, addictive fairytale sensibility, and marks it as one of those rare reads that simultaneously evokes and transcends its wholly original time and place." - Tracy Manaster, author of You Could Be Home by Now "Jamie Duclos-Yourdon's new novel, Froelich's Ladder, is the perfect tall tale for our time. Funny and smart, Duclos-Yourdon takes us back to just settled Oregon. With logging camps, confederate spies, and industrious builders, this book is at once a lesson in Oregon history and a lesson in the unexpected. Overall, it's a joy to read; it's evocative of a different time, and a tale that's taller than the ladder Froelich builds." - Kate Ristau, author of Shadowgirl, "From the first page to the last, Froelich's Ladder brims with color, intrigue, and verve.

Synopsis
When Froelich disappears from the fourth-tallest ladder in the world, his nephew's quest to find him interlaces with the journeys of two spunky young women who outwit their guardians. In a Wild West populated with immigrants, skittish Civil War veterans, hungry clouds, a circus menagerie, and a few murderers, this fairy-tale twist on the American dream explores the conflict between loyalty and ambition, and the need for connection, even at the highest rungs.
