About Togwotee Passage

Literary Eco-fiction, Adventure, Nature, Native American

Calan's life path begins in 1940s western Wyoming, suffering the trauma of a dysfunctional family. Then whisked away to sweeping wilderness, he befriends a Shoshone lad with differing cultural values. Beyond in the wider world of life's chaotic landscape, will he find a measure of inner peace?

At times heart-breaking, angering, humorous, and tender, with off-the-beaten-path experiences and intimately relatable characters, this tale is a thought kindling journey of mind and spirit, complemented with expressive illustrations.

Intended for thoughtful readers, the story is character driven rather than plot driven, contains Native American mythology, and has an entwined thread of natural world interconnectedness.

Togwotee (toe'-ga-tee) is the name of a challenging mountain pass in the Absaroka Mountains of northwest Wyoming, which is named for a Shoshone subchief. As used in the title of this fictive tale, it's an apt metaphor for the protagonist's life path.

"Literature is a process of producing beautiful lies that tell more truth than any facts." Julian Barnes
