Synopsis
John Pierce reflects on three decades of fly fishing near his family’s rustic retreat in Idaho’s Selkirk Mountains in Catch and Release, a collection of essays mapping the author’s meandering route through joy and tragedy toward self discovery.
Pierce explores sensitive territory, sharing the story of his son’s battle with Hodgkins lymphoma and melanoma and how it affected his family. He details how time spent on the river allowed him to recognize wisdom he acquired from the women in his life. And he reflects on how his experiences on a series of fishing expeditions forced him to reconsider his fundamental assumptions about life.
The evocative biographical excursions in Catch and Release will spark recognition in readers who have wondered who they are and why.
