""Dour Scot" is the wrong description for David Caldow, who leads readers on a romp from the early twentieth century to the present, from an insular Scottish village to modern-day, multicultural British Columbia, from boyhood to old age. Throughout the tour he shares decades of laughter, tears, fears, and growth.".

"Chasing the Comet is a true story that reads like fiction. David's candour and Scottish humour help him survive and thrive. In the book's epilogue, David ponders the meaning of all his years of living, addressing questions such as: What is love? What is success? And how does one achieve them?"--BOOK JACKET.
