Description
He's known as the "trapper", and his family has a long history in these isolated woods. Now it's just him and the boy, and he'll raise him in the world he knows, the forest, where threats take recognizable forms: harsh weather, peak predators, the encroachment of civilization at odds with their lifestyle. But, for those lands and minds with an unsettled past, other dangers may lurk the woods where father and son hunt the timber. One fateful day, their woodland life is violently broken; shouldn't those guilty of such injustice be held to account? Though at times gritty even violent, there is raw grace in these pages like veins of gold running through black quartz.
A tale told in captivating prose of wild living, where human skin is no boundary for either the beauty or cruelty of nature. A book studded with reflective wonder, wholly a story of the profound bonds of human love. The big woods of the far north in all its naked majesty become an arena for the dueling forces of life: joy and suffering, good and evil, compassion and vengeance. Though the forest is isolated, this may be a story of the wilderness existing within us all. A story that won't easily be forgotten as there is something enduring here. Immortal North.
Advance Praise
"Less than 10% of my ratings are Five Stars, I liked this one a lot. Another reviewer said that this book will gut you, tear you apart. I can agree, writer Tom Stewart provided a foundation upon which he erected a monument to a natural life. It is as quiet as snow falling in a forest. Until it is not and then it is a cacophony of violence and sorrow. This beautifully written book features discussions and explorations on philosophy, theology and psychology, all in the context of the cabin in the woods and a life chosen to be free of all but nature’s rules. ★★★★★ My Goodreads friends know how grudging I am with high marks, this one deserves it. I’d like to read more from this author." -Lyn Graves. 4400 Goodreads friends, 1900 novels reviewed.
