Divorced after a 20-year marriage, true crime author Franscell (Delivered from Evil) hoped to reconnect with his teenage son on a road trip. He planned a journey via RV to the Yukon Territory to visit a saloon that serves up a cocktail containing a mummified human toe. Franscell writes of his fears that he will become his own father, who deserted the family when he was a baby and is now living in Panama as a character with a shady past. The dream trip of a lifetime was beset with troubles--unforeseen extra charges for the RV, seriously bad roads on the way to the Yukon, and a surly son who blasted death metal music to his father's annoyance. The sourtoe cocktail is almost a letdown. VERDICT Readers of Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance will enjoy this story of a father and son on a journey, which is not as much about travel as life, family, and love. It should appeal to a wide audience.--Susan Belsky, Oshkosh P.L., WI
