This second book in the Akimbo series recounts the remarkable life of Kim Parrish, a retired Canadian teacher looking back on his life through snippets of poetry and salutes to his travels, taking him to the far corners of the world.

After finding love and marriage in China, the author now splits his time between China and Vancouver, British Columbia.
