As the two drive and fish and walk their old dog, Amos, Maggie asks her father difficult questions, and Dodson, between explaining heaven and the history of the West, tries to help her with the answers. He is a world-class know-it-all, quoting Plato and Emerson and Oscar Wilde as often as he sets up his daughter's fly rod. That said, he's also a long-time journalist, and his clear, nimble prose keeps this travel story humming along: "Old Blue cooled down and Amos hung his big head out the window to let the rushing wind flap his jowls," writes Dodson of one evening's drive. "Maggie sang along with Trisha Yearwood, a lovely torch song about somebody aching to hit the road after a love affair gone wrong, anxious to get out from under a rain cloud and find a way to live again ... the sound of my fishergirl's sweet voice made my anxiety begin to lift like Portland fog." --Maria Dolan
"James Dodson's Faithful Travelers is a journey of self-discovery...A brilliantly written book by one of America's most gifted writers."
--Terry Kay, author of The Runaway
"James Dodson has written what every woman who loves her father has been waiting for, and what every father who loves his little girl needs: the perfect daddy-daughter love story."
--Jessica Maxwell, author of I Don't Know Why I Swallowed the Fly
"Faithful Travelers is a fly-fishing journey made immensely memorable by its wise and vibrant sojourners."
--Nick Lyons, author of A Flyfisher's World
Praise for Final Rounds:
"A beautiful, deeply moving tribute to the love between father and son."
--Michael Murphy, author of Golf in the Kingdom
"I have never liked golf or understood the people who play it. Now I have an abiding respect for both, just as I understood fly-fishing and fly-fishermen after reading A River Runs Through It."
--Atlanta Magazine
