Publisher's Synopsis
This book is based on a true story with the author's request to empty all pockets of opinions before entering the space. What are the true beginnings of Pete to have such strong connections to animals, mountains and trees while generally avoiding people? We see a young cougar's manner in Pete: a quiet solitary existence, poetic agility, quickness and the awareness to sustain life. Like the cat this two legged's claws are retracted, but kept in a knife scabbard, always ready.
Pete, being wary of humans yet bound by a promise, crashes directly into civilization unleashing both humor and consternation. The threads of the Ancients and magical enchantment interweave with history and science to illustrate how much we don't know about our universe. Readers may find themselves thrown off balance as Pete prances along and snubs all established norms. Black and white photos taken by the author are strewn on the path not merely to verify history and nature's beauty but to nudge the reader towards the Reality not normally encountered in our minds. Unprotected by walls and roofs we can taste the wild berries, smell the fury of mama bear, and feel the power still lingering from Genesis.
