Leaving behind a lifetime of losses and a pathologically possessive boyfriend, Tori St. James flees Boston in her aging MG sports car. She will, she vows, become "The Cat Who Walks Alone," unfettered by commitments to anyone or anything, with two major exceptions - the making of pots and her Border collie, Sweep. Two weeks into her journey, traveling through the austere landscape of southern Idaho's high desert country, she is lured down a country road by a weathered sign to A Pottery at the bottom of an isolated canyon. There she encounters Aldo Rinaldi, an aging, crippled potter of extraordinary ability with an aversion to attachments as great as her own. Recognizing Tori's talent and her passion for pottery making, he offers her a tentative apprenticeship. As they share the triumphs and disasters of pot making, Tori begins to piece together the reasons for Aldo's self-imposed exile. The Canyon is a story about community, about letting go and holding on-and the responsibility we bear for one another.
