Jim Easom wakes up, and everything is different. He is alone after a devastating pandemic. He sets out across Canada in an effort to build a new home. He finds Arch and Jenny and the unlikely trio learns how to survive immeasurable grief and find joy and reasons to keep moving, no matter what.

This is an environmental commentary on humanity's growing dependency on "stuff" and convenience at the cost of our precious planet. I'll admit at times it was a bit preachy but... not off the mark. Underneath that, though, is a sweet tale about found family. 

This book was written and gifted to me by my kind friend and mentor who wrote himself into Jim Easom and left us before 2020. I wonder what he'd have to say now.
