“There is a refreshing straightforwardness in the quiet, solid beauty of this book. Something like a pared down James Agee.”—Mesha Maren, best-selling author of Sugar Run and Perpetual West
“Part adventure story, part love story, Hold Fast is the thrilling tale of a father and son who have learned to live with regret but refuse to give up on life. You will never forget these characters or their journey. An intimate look at the trouble we make and the trouble that finds us.”—David James Poissant, author of Lake Life and The Heaven of Animals
