Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After his combat-veteran father dies by suicide, Nicholas Paul, a Maine Mi'kmaq teenager, runs away into the northern wilderness to escape a world that feels shattered beyond repair. Carrying only his father's survival lessons and a lifetime of unspoken grief, Nicholas chooses isolation over comfort, believing the forest will either kill him or make him whole.Living off the land becomes a brutal rite of passage. Nicholas endures hunger, injury, storms, and near starvation while being haunted by memories of his father-especially their shared hunts and the violence his father carried home from war. These memories act as both guidance and torment, turning his father into a constant ghost presence in Nicholas's mind.As his body weakens, Nicholas's spiritual awareness deepens. Teachings from his grandmother and visions tied to Mi'kmaq bear spirits reconnect him to ancestral identity and purpose. The forest becomes more than shelter-it becomes teacher, witness, and judge.Nicholas eventually encounters Jonah, another traumatized veteran living in exile. Jonah mentors him in survival and truth, sharing his guilt over killing a child during war and showing Nicholas the cost of unprocessed violence. Jonah's death forces Nicholas to confront the difference between mere survival and meaningful living.Through disaster, rebuilding, and a powerful dream visitation with his father, Nicholas finally understands that love and damage can coexist. He discovers an old shelter his father once used and realizes his father had been fighting invisible battles long before his death.In the end, Nicholas chooses to stay. He rebuilds a cabin, accepts his role as a quiet guardian of the forest, and learns to live with his father's ghost without being ruled by it.Ghost Father, Wild Son is a raw, present-day coming-of-age novel about grief, inherited trauma, Indigenous identity, masculinity, and the long, painful work of choosing to live after loss. …
