With no experience in woodcraft, driven only by blind will, Trent Preszler built a canoe with tools he inherited from his father. He gained a new perspective on life, and the means to change it. This USA Today Best Book of 2021, delivers a moving reflection on bereavement and inheritance through a father-and-son odyssey, resonating with Robert Pirsig’s classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
