David, an Anglican parish priest, has no way of knowing that his place in the world is about to be shaken irrevocably. He will be flung headlong into a journey of discovery that leads him to Canada's rugged West Coast, a journey of loss and deliverance long overdue.

There, in the midst of a spirited pioneer people, David veers into the tangled realms of love and passion, and stares even into the jaws of death. This unpredictable pilgrimage of the soul makes no guarantees and offers no safe haven. He will never be the same again.
