Synopsis: Every adult is the creation of a child. The Eye of the Sparrow is an adult novel about a child - a boy going off to summer camp. And it is a drama of spiritual liberation. Twelve-year-old David Ashton is trapped in the cynicism and negativity that have come to dominate man’s image of himself. He is convinced that he is destined to fail and that the instructors and students have it in for him. Yet his story becomes an intense struggle out of despair as, driven into the wilderness, David is compelled to face the destructive and creative power of his beliefs and the very meaning of life and death. . . A gripping, honest, and sometimes raw account of a boy’s painful inner struggle ... set against the backdrop of the wild and spirited beauty of the Okanagan.” — trish miller, BCLA Reporter
