About This Book

A wounded veteran struggles with severe facial disfigurement and the psychic fallout of wartime injury, reliving memories of combat and a marriage that drifted apart. He withdraws into a rugged coastal timber region where land and timber deals are carried out by personal trust and hardy men whose lives depend on itinerant, physical labor. The narrative alternates inward reflection and outward episodes among these rough communities, tracing his efforts to reclaim dignity, face social rejection, and adapt to the blunt moral codes and survival demands of a primitive frontier economy.
