Présentation de l'éditeur

The YODER INCIDENT
What happens when an ordinary English teacher is faced with extraordinary circumstances? "The Yoder Incident" chronicles how one non-descript day forever changed the life of an average man.

Jaegan Yoder's wife left him for another man. Stressed and tired of his life, he takes a Friday off from his job as an English teacher and heads to his cabin in the densely-forested lake country of Northern Saskatchewan for a little R&R. En route, he happens upon a fatal accident between security can and a logging track. Upon closer inspection, Yoder finds gold bricks and large amount of cash. With no one around, Yoder takes the booty and leaves.

Fast forward to a year later where Yoder's life takes another bizarre twist. During a fishing trip, he comes upon an overturned canoe with two injured children. He rescues them and races to the hospital. There he meets a beautiful Chinese doctor who has a problem of international proportions. Will Yoder help the young doctor? Will his growing affection for her get in the way of common sense?
