A father/son fishing trip in the Alaska wilderness provides an opportunity for reconciliation between a man and his teenaged son in Lou Ureneck's winning memoir, Backcast: Fatherhood, Flyfishing, and a River Journey Through the Heart of Alaska (St. Martins). "This is simply a fabulous book, as deep and true as the Alaskan waters that serve as its backdrop. It is an exciting adventure story. It is a profound story of the heart. It is warm and beautiful and so sweetly honest, a father fighting for his son, to know him, to regain him, in a way that will stay and linger long after the final page is turned." - H.G. Bissinger.
