More DescriptionWhen the Wood Thrush Sings is an autobiographical memoir of a young man in the United States in the mid-1970s. Disaffected and estranged with the world in the wake of the Vietnam War, he falls in love with a young lady who is still in high school, inadvertently saving her from a violent fate. Passionate and idealistic, they move together to a rural farmhouse, both wanting to get back to nature and plant a garden on a homestead. What follows are a string of adventures that are at times romantic, unbelievable, magical, tragic, hopeful, and almost beyond words. This poignant and intense personal story sat in the author's file cabinet for four decades before it was published in 2023.
