Fighting advanced stage cancer, award-winning journalist Bryan Hendricks brushes aside his worries and goes turkey hunting. His adventures lead him to grace, growth and redemption while coming to terms with his son's death, a friend's suicide, and his own mortality. An unorthodox Arkansas backwoodsman, Bryan obeys inner voices. He heeds the enticements of magic trees and magic barrels. He senses the spirit of a departed friend in a gobbler strutting in a field. He nearly causes a panic by wearing camouflage in a college library and triggers a divorce in an ill-fated float-fishing trip. Unforgettable gobblers and real-life characters are Bryan's wingmen in a heart-warming, heart-wrenching memoir told in the wry, riveting style that has captivated Bryan's fans for decades.
