About the Book

INTO THE WIND In 20th century America, young men discovered their rites of passage toward manhood by working on the farm, joining the military or attending college. In 21st century America, the rite of passage for most boys becomes blurred in the confusion of the changing roles of men and women. ‘INTO THE WIND’ offers teenagers a window into the world of two teens about to discover what it is to become young men by adventuring to Alaska. The boys do not know what is ahead of them, but they seek their fortunes. They face not only danger, but their own shortcomings in the midst of challenges. Whether it’s arm wrestling the meanest mountain man in Alaska or witnessing a grizzly- moose conflict in the wilds—each boy grows in his own way. It features Trevor who laughs at life, who loves life and takes risks—often foolish ones. His brother, Dan, tries to moderate him to no avail, yet, the younger boy learns life’s lessons and proves it. Nothing can keep Trevor’s humor and passion for life in check. By the action of the two main characters, it covers honesty, humor, relationships, personal responsibility, personal crisis, ecology, hard work and a sense of wonder with the natural world.
