520    "Dour Scot" is the wrong description for David Caldow, who
       leads readers on a romp from the early twentieth century 
       to the present, from an insular Scottish village to modern
       -day, multicultural British Columbia, from boyhood to old 
       age. Throughout the tour he shares decades of laughter, 
       tears, fears, and growth. In 1910, the certain path of 
       David's life in Scotland is disrupted by the visit of an 
       awe-inspiring comet. This brilliant visitor inspires the 
       boy to dream of circling the world, like the comet, even 
       though his life's goal is to become a farm manager, like 
       his father. As a young man.
