Welcome to Travers Corners, a dusty Montana town, where nothing much has happened since Herbert Hoover stopped for gas. Travers Corners, like most small towns, has no newspaper, no radio station; but here, large trout - no better than large trout, fictitious trout - await the angler.

Scott Waldie’s delightful cast of characters breathes life into this tiny, out-of-the-way town.

His failure as a father haunts him, along with other deep regrets, tragedies, and longings.
