Martin, a pine marten (of the mustelid family) is leaving his own mother and siblings and setting off on his own as well.As Dave and Martin set off on their own adventures, their lives, paths, and trails will cross, weave, and blend. Why not come with them as they set forth into the forest and crags of Oregons soaring mountain wilderness in search of life, family, friends, enemies, wonder, mystery, and good things to eat?Martin Marten is a braided coming-of-age tale like no other, told in Brian Doyles joyous, rollicking style.
