Description
Stranded in Honolulu at age six with his single-parent mom, transplanted in the 1960’s from Ogden, Utah to the Big Easy lifestyle of New Orleans at age twelve. feeling trapped at age nineteen by the Vietnam War and lottery draft, Stuart joins the army reserves and survives a basic training hell hole.
In law school, Stuart meets Lisa and falls in love, only to lose her, and have to win her back under the guise of a legal case to protect a stripper’s First Amendment right to dance nude. As defense attorneys, they represented poor defendants accused of heinous crimes while raising their three children in Santa Cruz. Mysterious events during the 1987, 1988, and 1989 World Series threaten the family. Playing hard, they test their limits with long-distance Big Sur bicycling, a storm driven Baja kayaking trip, and backpacking the John Muir Trail.
An ugly death penalty case pushes Lisa to her limits to save a man’s life. Stuart embarks on solo kayak expeditions in Alaska. After seventeen stressful years of criminal defense law, the couple decide to take a year-long-break and head north to Alaska with their kids in a truck-camper and trailer in search of a new life.
