Neither Mountain nor River

Mike Freeman was raised with a passion for nature, a passion that came from his father, a man who could name a bird from its call and could explain the life cycle of dragonflies.

While unraveling a lifetime of fishing, birding, hunting, and trapping with his father, he realizes how fortifying the outdoors are to all relationships.

Now, having spent most of his life in the natural environments of Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Alaska, Mike suddenly finds himself a stay-at-home father. Unsure of himself as a parent, he reflects upon both his own upbringing and adulthood.
