Reviews"This is a must-read book from Frank Talaber. I couldn't put it down! But as much as I wanted to know what happens I never wanted it to finish. Great book!"Faith Curtis"I was touched when I sensed the author's profound reverence for trees; especially when I read his descriptions of the 'sobbing trees' as they were axed down. This novel has the ring of an epic 'Lord of the Rings' journey -this is one journey that I'll always remember!"Stephanie Bridgeman/It's A Funny Kind Of Thing That Happened"After being stranded twenty kilometers from the nearest road at the tip of Rose Spit, Haida Gwaii, and having to push his spanking new SUV a few kilometers along the beach before the tide came in and we ran out of booze, my first reaction on being asked to write a back cover blurb was, "over my dead body."
