Simon Pratt was supposed to be dead. At least that’s what his doctor had told him. Diagnosed with end-stage terminal cancer, and a few weeks to live, Pratt decides to spare his family the agony of watching him wither away. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Great writing! The story left me wondering about these characters. I'd like to hear from them again after a year or so, to see if life really does offer a second chance--out of the blue, so to speak. This is an enjoyable read."-Verified Amazon Purchase

Armed only with a ragged copy of his favorite author’s paperback novel, and a few things from his own father, Pratt ventures into the Idaho back country prepared to die quickly while immersed on some of the most beautiful country. The only problem is . . . he doesn’t die! Now what will he do?

"A solidly engaging tale and a testament to Hemingway." ~ Alex Perata (Verified reader)
