Part travel memoir, part family history, Parking the Moose follows an Ohio-raised writer who sets out to trace his Canadian grandfather's origins. The journey moves through Clinton, Montreal, Moose Jaw, Regina, Winnipeg and smaller towns, mixing on-the-ground reporting with personal recollection and a playful, observant voice.

Along the way the narrative explores national identity, cultural quirks (including a youthful obsession with hockey and Canadian staples) and the small encounters that reveal how family stories shape belonging. Humor and curiosity steer the book more than polemics, so readers get sharp scenes and warm, often wry reflection.

Ideal for readers who enjoy travel writing with a comic edge, light cultural study, or memoirs about roots and discovery.
