Children with ODD show a consistent pattern of refusing to follow commands or requests by adults. They tend to lose their temper, argue with adults and blame others for their mistakes.

Meet Romar Jones, 15 ½, basketball player with months to go before the next season and no one who cares about him since Granny died. His dad's been dead for two years. When his 9th grade language arts teacher says pay attention to the poetry unit or take a hike, Romar opts for the hike, leaves Roseburg, Oregon, and embarks on a journey to find his mother. He knows she's in prison in Washington. He shrugs on his dad's trail-guide backpack, and sets out, heading first to the coast to leave some of Granny's ashes. Within minutes of first chasing waves on the ocean beach, he encounters a derelict man he dubs Meth Mouth. Five days after leaving school he stops at Vesta's by the Sea near Yachats. Could have been good luck. Could have been Granny steered him there and had a hand in all that happened after.

ForeWord Reviews' 2013 Book of the Year Honorable Mention award winner for short stories. The Key Peninsula floats quietly through time in Puget Sound but lives more like an island in the hearts of her residents. Descendants of the First People and pioneers mingle with newcomers washed ashore from distant cities in these stories of small town life in a community too small to have a town. Young homeowners grapple with the depredations of heartsick woodpeckers. Anarchist loggers nail indignant poems to roadside trees. Shamanic gardeners work to heal a damaged world one lawn at a time. Deceptively simple stories with deep feeling.
