Summary
Jake MacDonald has always been fascinated by Nature as he has observed it in Canada's Great Lakes region and beyond. In this entertaining memoir, MacDonald writes about his long relationship with the wild, particularly his years living on a houseboat, but he also writes about people: the bush pilots and fishing guides he has met, the women in his life, his daughter, and many more. The journey he writes about here is not only through the Canadian wilderness but also through a more personal world in which, over the years, he finds himself as a man and a writer.

Media Reviews
"In this spare, unassuming yet affecting memoir, MacDonald describes his lifelong fascination and flirtation with life in the central Canadian wilderness....This is a tranquil, pleasant reflection on the austere beauty of nature, and on life's many different paths."
