This philosophical new novel looks at an age-old question -- why are we here? -- through the story of one Ian MacBride, a young man dealing with grief and shock after returning from the killing
fields of World War I. Eventually moving to the Beaverkill River, he retreats into the world of fly fishing. Even as he confronts new losses, Ian finds comfort in the practice of his beloved
sport of fly casting, where he begins to see the ideal form as a metaphor for the ideals for a higher power. A novel of loss, faith and coming to terms, "Fly Caster" is infused with the history
of fly fishing, fly casting and, above all, the beauty and spirituality of both.
