In researching this book Richard T. Morris lived for two years ago among a herd of wild moose in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, where he survived on roots and- cut! Sorry. He made this whole story up. Richard is actually the author of Bye-Bye Baby! (Walker/Bloomsbury, 2009). He is also a regular contributor Ellen Potter and Anne Mazer's Spilling Ink creative writing blog. He lives in New Jersey with his family.
