Though this story is set in 1950, just after World War II, the dilemmas it contains are relevant to our new century as well. How is it best to be, David wonders, where do I go and what do I need for the trip? He has his mother's old brown leather suitcase with the gold letters stamped M.H. for Maggie Hope, but maybe there is something else he needs.

This first-rate, fresh, thoughtful, engaging novel, then, is all about the things he carries, the opportunities and adventures and ideas that come David's way on the blasted heath, where he feels homeless, and what he chooses to go with and without.

           "I recommend most highly this new novel from a tested, thoughtful craftsman of prose and a passionate poet of life, Tony Abbott--one of North Carolina's finest writers.  You need to read this book, whatever your age, whatever your experience, for it is as universal as it is detailed and deeply sensed in the particulars of David's days."
