is the coming of age story written by Xan Hood.Coming from a polished, well-to-do family, Hood decided to skip his college graduation and relocate to the rugged fields of Colorado.
There he takes a job painting houses, goes on hikes, learns to hunt and fly fish all while learning valuable lessons.
The subtitle is "What God uses to make a man". Hood confesses his issues with his father and not quite being what some would consider to be a manly man.
He's always had enough money to play with until he strikes out on his own.
There are 30 chapters to this book but they average about 4 pages per chapter.
Sadly, I wasn't completely engaged with this book. While there seems to be a trend of male authors confessing their failures and mistakes in their books, I grow weary of reading about men crying and experiencing God by killing deer.
Of course, this is exactly the frame of mind Hood writes against. So take that as you will.
At least he learned how to change the oil in his car.
