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.
