ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Randy Klassen is a retired businessman, author, and aging ultrarunner. Having earned his Bachelor of Arts (International Relations) from the University of British Columbia in the 1980s, Randy happily argues that when we challenge our foundational beliefs, we equip ourselves to better understand what shapes our present. His first book, Perhaps Joy is the Reward, speaks to the power of discovering what we become when we pursue difficult journeys alongside others on earthen trails. Book two, The Mapmaker’s Omission, reveals how Klassen’s personal encounters with the mazelike geography and untold history of the Pacific Northwest changed his thinking.
