Apparently coming-of-age stories can occur at any age. Mr. H, who was drifting towards old age despair, made the crazy decision to try a new start by camping an entire year without a single day off, rain/shine, warm/cold or whatever. Such a drastic life choice shook not only his own world but the worlds of family members and strangers he would come to know very well. Besides the challenges of relationships and the dealing with life, there is the ongoing story of how would you actually camp for a year? Spoiler alert: Mr. H’s forester friend, minor character in the story, extremely experienced in camping in every weather condition, is the true author.
