Migration Patterns: Stories: Easyread Large Edition - Softcover
Migration Patterns This beautifully drawn collection of stories features characters living in or touched by the American West. Young and old, with heartbreaking pasts and uncertain futures, they cope with migration in all of its nuances - a young crab fisherman who exiles himself from the life he desires; an aging flower child who experiences enlightenment while waiting in the express-checkout line; a veterinarian watching birds fall mysteriously from the sky; an old man seeing his life come full circle in his garden harvest. Spare, yet emotionally engaging, Migration Patterns is an exploration of the physical and spiritual aspects of moving on in life.
