From his early escapades with Neil and their first dates with Nancy to the hyperactive dramas from the Midwest to the Golden Gate, this is a chronicle by a journal writer about recovering strength of spirit and stout-heartedness, not least after life as a child is turned upside-down. The d nouement builds from questions throughout, such as those from the chapter entitled Faces in the Jigsaw: How is it for those who dwell in Selby.How can they live independently and yet coalesce with each other, to save the ecology dear to farmers, against genetic evolution, intensive animal farming, new machines, superstore profiteering, and John X? By compromise?
