Hard Travel: Stories

A photographer on assignment in Guatemala. A doctor meeting a cancer survivor in the Copper Canyon of Mexico. A woman facing down her unexpected pregnancy at a bluegrass festival in North Carolina. A draft resister arriving in Canada during the Vietnam War. In these short stories by award-winning Canadian writer Lesley Krueger, we meet people at a crossroad in their lives. Travel has taken them away from their roots, stripping away the protections of daily life. Now they must confront decisions they’ve been avoiding. Seven stories, seven life-changing decisions.
