The Tonto Ten, a novel by T.F. Torrey
Jack's back … in the desert
Ten Months On The Edge
It's 1986, and Jack is at the end of his rope. Again. He feels listless and turgid, as if life is passing him by. He begins to think that the only way he can get a grip is by doing something crazy, and foolish, and dangerous. Again.
Once again, he's desert-bound. This time, though, he's going alone.
Back to Tonto National Forest, back to the scene of the crime. Only this time, Jack is going to take care of himself. He's going to live off the land, and draw what he sees. It will be a time of disasters and challenges, sure, but he just might find himself.
He'll come back an artist, if he comes back at all.
Stay tuned …
