Faithful Travelers
by
James Dodson
In Final Rounds, James Dodson told the poignant story of the golf trip of a lifetime with his terminally ill father. Now, armed with a fly-fishing rod and reel, he embarks with his seven-year-old daughter on an equally memorable journey across America in search of clear-running streams, swift elusive fish, and the eternal truths that only nature can provide.

“Sorrow is sacred ground. The question was what you did with the sorrow, I said-learned from it or cursed your bad luck, let it pry open your heart forever or shut it down for good.”
From a book I just finished reading, James Dodson’s Faithful Travelers. For some reason I really enjoy the fishing novels, well the two that I’ve read. Now, I’ve never really fished. The catfish from Clear Lake was hooked by someone else on that fateful kiddie camp-out when I got 112 mosquito bites. That wa...more

A beautifully written story of a father, his daughter and a fly-fishing story of the heart. This is a true and perfect daddy-daughter story.

I liked the book but not as much as his other two. It is the story of a summer road trip for a soon to be divorced father and his seven year old daughter. Very touching in parts, lots of bits about fly fishing and a look at family dynamics and life in general. A worthwhile read.
I read this book before I was married and before I was a parent. I was touched by the emotions of the father and daughter but I read it again recently and connected with the story in an entirely different way.
The story of a father and daughter travelling across America looking for fishing streams. Nice bonding / fishing book. I enjoy Dodson's travel books. They usually include family too.
