Wilson opens his memoir with a formative boyhood summer on the Gulf Coast of Alabama and Florida, where the shore and its creatures first captured his imagination. He presents this seaside immersion as the origin of his lifelong calling, the moment when a child's fascination with nature began to take hold.
