Y Chromosome Fun Adventure With Message Attached
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
An idealistic, somewhat solitary young man leaves a Mom shaped childhood of snowsuit wearing and germ fearing in search of his inner warrior / grandfather. Endeavoring to seek his fortune with little more than a sketchy clue, skimpy budget, and big ideas he heads across the continent to a rugged Paradise in the process of being lost. Blessed with an excess of beginner's luck, the kindness of singular strangers, and sheer pig-headedness, he survives darn fool adventures in the face of big weather & commercial greed with his sense of humor intact. He even matures and makes good. If you like honesty, ideals, and individuality, if you value the epic struggle to teach the selfish why it's not smart to trash our very nice planet, if you like to have fun when you read... who could ask for more?
