In the predawn hours of July 10, 2014, the twenty-seven-year-old son of preeminent Alaskan scientist and National Geographic Explorer Roman Dial, walked alone into Corcovado National Park. As soon as he realized Cody Romanâs return date had passed, Dial set off for Costa Rica.
What The Reviewers Say
Dial’s memoir of this quest – but also of a remarkable family, one that eschewed the 'safe and boring' for something different; something intense, sparkling, and wild.
It’s the resulting search — for a body, for answers, for absolution — that forms the heart of the book. But its soul lies in the love that Dial has for his family and adventure both — the love that drove him to combine them.
Rarely does a parent share with such candid emotion their experience of losing a child as Dial does in his memoir, which begins with the author’s early life and passion for the outdoors, then explores how he shared that passion with his children.
... gripping, honest, raw.
