We are all shaped by the place where we live and, for Lesley Choyce, the coastal geography of Nova Scotia has always been a powerful influence. In this poetic journal he documents his time hiking one small part of the coastline of Nova Scotia—from the Lawrencetown River mouth to Grand Desert. It was here, close to home, that he hiked a meditative trek over the course of one summer to record the life of this shoreline.

Lesley Choyce is also the author of over fifty books, including, for Pottersfield Press: the novel Cold Clear Morning, children's books Far Enough Island and Famous At Last, and non-fiction books Driving Minnie's Piano: Memoirs of a Surfing Life in Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia: Shaped By The Sea, and Peggy's Cove: The Amazing History of a Coastal Village. He has also edited for Pottersfield Press: Ark of Ice: Canadian Futurefictions, The Mi'kmaq Anthology, The Mi'kmaq Anthology, Volume Two (with Rita Joe), Nova Scotia: Visions of the Future, Nova Scotia: A Traveller's Companion, and Pottersfield Nation: East of Canada.
