Summary

Enter the area of Currituck Sound. Here lies a haven for hunt clubs where vendors can sell their homegrown produce along the highway. Travis Morris's family has lived in Coinjock, North Carolina, and Currituck Beach for generations. This is his story. It is not a record of his real estate business or of his time in the Coast Guard. Instead, it is a series of essays that tell of the special moments that compose a man's life. For Morris, most of those moments involve ducks.
