From acclaimed author and naturalist Robert Finch, a richly detailed observance of Cape Cod's seemingly vanished natural and human past, as it clings to its present landscape.

This is a voyage of
discovery, a personal odyssey into the nature of a single Cape Cod
neighborhood. It is a rich portrait, beautifully drawn, of a landscape
and a community whose essential character lies in their penetrating
interface with the sea. But it is also an individual quest, a journey of
the heart and mind in which the author seeks "entrance, or rather
re-entrance" into "that vast living maze stretching out beyond my lines
of sight."
