Terrian Journals presents four more adventures of living as a newcomer in a single volume. In some ways this is a journey back in time into unknown lands, including one that almost becomes "Japan" and another that's inhabited by migrating-away-from-snow-and-the-here-and-now birds. The story begins in Bellechasse, with a brief jaunt in a rolling community, then snow-shoeing over the crystaline fields of Saint-Roch, and jumping suddenly into the sauna air of the Kalinaga isles once again. The explorations of living as a newcomer continue in both the past and present, following long rails and cold trails leading on to the world of the Manitou where today once was and still has yet to be.
