Contains a never before published essay, "Trout Flouderers". In these stories, popular Chicago Tribune outdoor columnist Bill Stokes gives himself over to his true passion, trout fishing.

And then remembering where the car is parked. All trout anglers will, like Stephen Born, revel in these evocative and entertaining stories.

The face-to-face contact with the killers of their sons is not only beyond the capacities of Gold Star mothers, but twists the thinking of everyone, including Margaret, who is determined to challenge fate. That challenge gets Margaret, Billy, and his outrageous older friend and mentor Cy immersed in a women-empowering scheme to turn war on its historical head.The forces of Nature and the contrariness of human nature conspire to bury their efforts in a merciless avalanche of such depravity that their very survival is threatened.The issues of war veterans as stooges, the fall of racist innocence, and God's role in war are among the things that Margaret, Billy, and Cy must step around as they go for broke with a plan that tries to enlist the help of Eleanor Roosevelt.What finally happens is as unpredictable as to where Billy's beloved dog Toby will next mark his territory.
