"A Stunning heart-tugging debut-Hight paints a setting reminiscent of Richard Powers' The Overstory while weaving a tale of addiction as crushing as David Sheff's Beautiful Boy!" -Cam Torrens, author of False Summit Bill Collins raised his son Kenny to work hard in the logging trade and keep his whining to himself. But when Kenny becomes a meth addict, Bill must face the bitter truth that he may have failed at his most important job. Jonah Price moved to Humboldt County to save the redwoods. Yet, guilt over his father's death leads him to get high so often that he walks through life like a zombie, half-dead to his surviving family and floundering as an environmental activist. After meeting in a 12-step program, Bill and Jonah form a bond that grows as they open up about their struggles. They find in each other a kindred spirit who could help each man rebuild his shattered life-if they can overcome their differences.

Autorenporträt
Jim Hight had written for dozens of newspapers and magazines in Los Angeles and Boston before he moved to rural Humboldt County, California, in 1996 as the staff writer for North Coast Journal. The city boy was intrigued and fascinated by his new subjects-loggers and forest defenders, fishermen and scientists, ranchers and dairy farmers, small-town mayors and county sheriffs, tribal healers and cannabis growers. His writing delighted readers, and he won an environmental and agricultural reporting award from the California Newspaper Publishers Association.But Hight had moved to cannabis-friendly Humboldt at the worst time for his recovery from marijuana addiction-and the best time for this novel, as things would turn out.
