Now Available in Trade PaperbackRooted in two vastly different cultures, a young man struggles to understand himself, find his place in the world, and reconnect with his mother—and her remote tribe, the Yanomami, in the deepest jungles of the Amazon rainforest.“Western explorer falls in love with exotic princess in remotest jungle—it’s an old trope. But what if it’s a true story? And what happens if they have a child who plays in the arms of a mother with sticks piercing her face one month, and is tromping through the snow on the way to a mall in New Jersey the next? David Good’s The Way Around is a remarkable and moving adventure, the compelling story of a baseball-playing American boy who finds his way from a troubled childhood in the suburbs to the remotest redoubts of the Amazon in search of his Yanomami mother.”—Carl Hoffman, author of Savage Harvest
