Finding Fox Creek: an Oregon Pilgrimage

Fox Creek, remote beautiful, and the site of an ancient old-growth forest, figures prominently in the author's novels Fleeing Ohio and York's Journal: A Novel. As a place experienced, remembered, and longed for, it is also the imaginative center of this memoir. In these pages an Oregon family's relationships, worked out over many years and complicated by deep differences of personal, political and social belief, are the subject of thoughtful reflection and mature insight as the author travels the many roads that lead him back again and again to Fox Creek.
