Last Chance

About the Book

In the 1960's, Rex Price began a business venture in Island Park, Idaho, bringing the love of his life and their ten children along for the ride. Through the simpleness of the era and the depth of the experience, Last Chance was more than a place and a time, it became a home to this family. Grounded in traditions, encircled with hope, and blessed with the religion of fly fishing, this family experiences a paradise, living a life that becomes so rich and meaningful in its daily content, shaping all of them in such a way, that it holds them bound together through all the traverses of their own lives and fashions a sweetness in their growing old together. "It was the tenets and times of fly fishing that shaped my temperament towards living and my trust in timeless bonds. Fly fishing is somehow tied to your soul, and I'm not sure how, but I do believe it is a gift of the heart, a natural communion and unifying of the spiritual and the material that we all are searching for; fly fishermen seem to have found it."
