On a foggy Vancouver sidewalk in 1995, an ailing homeless man fights for breath. Forest Green is the story of how he got there. Arthur Lunn was once the golden boy, a happy-go-lucky, mischievous child in a loving, working-class family in the Okanagan. And then a harrowing childhood trauma changed everything. The consequences of this one event will shape everything that follows, from Art's experiences as a soldier in World War Two to his reckless, nomadic working days in logging camps across British Columbia to his relationship with his one great love, Rose--a woman he cannot believe he deserves.
