Book Description

Sons clash with fathers, sons find reasons to rebel. And, fairly or unfairly, sons judge fathers when they take to drinking. But Bill Gaston and his father could always fish together. Returning to the past in his old fishing boat, Bill unravels his father’s relationship with his father, it too a story marked by heavy drinking, one that took a much darker turn.
