From the publisher
Set in locales ranging from the British Columbian wilderness to the jungles of the Amazon to the polar ice of the Arctic Circle, Shadows in the Sun is a testament to a world where spirits still stalk the land and seize the human heart.
Though distilled from travels in widely separated parts of the world, Shadows in the Sun is fundamentally about landscape and character, the wisdom of lives drawn directly from the land, the hunger of those who seek to rediscover such understanding, and the consequences of failure.
