    About this ebook

    A father-and-son memoir about a bookworm and a firefighter, a creature of contemplation and one of locomotion, the recollections of a child's journey from infancy to just before his wedding day set against an increasingly treacherous mountain climb.

    The theme is timeless: What's left for a father to tell and to give his son when that son has already become his own man?
