My daughter and I have both organized book clubs in different cities and this novel was one read by each group. It has a very contemporary story line making it more appealing to some readers than others, perhaps even on a generational basis. I found myself impatient with the main male character, wanting him to be a 'better man and father". As uncertain single father, the main character learns the importance of family and finally gains the maturity he needs to make a tough decision.

I plan to release this book at the Visitor's Centre in Algonquin Park when I go there on vacation in August.

Journal Entry 3 by Price from Peterborough, Ontario Canada on Sunday, September 14, 2003
I found the book at the visitors centre in Algonquin Provincial Park in August 2003, but did not have time to read it until now. The book struck way to close to home for me.. I went through a custody battle for my four year old son four years ago and could relate to 90% of what Harry went through. It's a journey by a father who is a product of a generation that says men have to be more responsible for the up bringing of there children yet loathes a father who tries to go against the antiquated idea that a “Child belongs with it’s mother”. I'll release it back into the wild now that I've read it.

Good book, looking for somewhere where it can be dropped of and found by a different culture.
