Summary:
An adventure story set against the backdrop of a son trying to understand his
father
.
After
a 25-year break from boating, Brian Harvey circumnavigates Vancouver Island with his wife, his dog, and a box of documents that surfaced
after
his
father
's death. John Harvey was a neurosurgeon, violinist, and photographer who answered his door a decade into retirement to find a sheriff with a summons. It was a malpractice suit, and it did not go well. Dr. Harvey never got over it. The box contained every nurse's record, doctor's report,
trial
transcript, and expert testimony related to the case. Only Brian's
father
had read it all--until now. In this beautifully written memoir, Brian Harvey shares how
after
two months of voyaging with his
father
's ghost, he finally finds out what happened in the O.R. that crucial night and why Dr. Harvey felt compelled to fight the excruciating accusations.
