Fight or Flight
Book •
Fight or Flight artifacts the trauma of McFadyen-Ketchum's divorce and the journey he took across the wilds of America.
The book explores themes of healing and self-discovery through poems that narrate his experiences living in a tent on the California coast.
It also delves into getting intentionally lost in the Utah desert and tracking wild animals in the bitter cold of Indiana winters.
The search for healing ultimately leads to the discovery of his indigenous wife and her three children.
This transformative experience shapes the narrative, highlighting themes of resilience and the creation of a new family.
