Following the death of his wife, Cy Bellman heads out on a long adventure leaving his young daughter behind. The story follows him as well as his daughter, as she grows up without her parents. He will not be winning fictional father of the year award.

A beautiful story of finding yourself through grief and loss. A coming-of-age tale not just for the adolescent characters, but also for the father, Cy, as he travels west in search of beasts of legend. 

“Whatever your known idea of the world, there were always things outside of it you hadn’t dreamed of.”
