Abstract

As Samuel and Thomas take up a fight that no one else will to protect the wild lands they love, they are forced further from the quiet lives they have built. These are the two main characters in the novel A Long Way to Go. Samuel photographs the elusive and rare birds that most people never get a chance to see. As he seeks out the most elusive, possibly-extinct Northern Stilted Curlew, he struggles with the memory of his wife, who died a year earlier after a battle with cancer, and the scarred relationship with his son Ryan, a young artist. Ryan meets the mysterious Karia, and as he gets to know her, he too begins his own kind of search.
