Even as he battles foul weather, a persistent family of dogs, and two-legged intruders, Dan finds time to learn to fly a small plane. Months later as his stint in Oregon ends and Daniel finally returns to Alaska with an adopted puppy in tow, he begins a new chapter that includes long-awaited reunions, love, and fulfilling his dream of becoming a bush pilot.Detour in Oregon is the compelling tale of an Afghanistan War veteran’s journey home from the battlefields to Alaska as unlikely encounters and powerful emotions play an important part in shaping his future.
