But when Gram has to have surgery for \"female trouble\" in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin. There Donal is in for a rude surprise: Aunt Kate-bossy, opinionated, argumentative, and tyrannical--is nothing like her sister. She henpecks her good-natured husband, Herman the German, and Donal can't seem to get on her good side either. After one contretemps too many, Kate packs him back to the authorities in Montana on the next Greyhound. But as it turns out, Donal isn't traveling solo: Herman the German has decided to fly the coop with him. In the immortal American tradition, the pair light out for the territory together, meeting a classic Doigian ensemble of characters and having rollicking misadventures along the way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCharming, wise, and slyly funny, \u003ci\u003eLast Bus to Wisdom\u003c\/i\u003e is a last sweet gift from a writer whose books have bestowed untold pleasure on countless readers. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eIvan Doig\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ewas a third-generation Montanan and the author of fifteen previous books, including the bestselling \u003ci\u003eThe Bartender's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Whistling Season\u003c\/i\u003e and the classic memoir \u003ci\u003eThis House of Sky\u003c\/i\u003e.
