Carl Wade has absolutely no desire to follow in the farmer footsteps of his dad. He is determined to follow his own dream of becoming a wealthy fur trader. This means challenging parental authority to prove he can do it.

Carl’s determination to leave the comforts of home catapults him into shocking, real-life situations in the wild. In each make or break” circumstance of the trapping season, his parents’ high principles become his compass. The reader’s emotions will run the gamut from delight to fear, as Carl is forced to meet life’s realities head-on.Massey, Howard C. is the author of 'Deep Woods ' with ISBN 9781413776188 and ISBN 1413776183.
