Winterport, ME, June 09, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Doug Crate, who resides near central coastal Maine with his wife and a variety of animals, where he enjoys gardening, trail hiking, kayaking, and playing music, has completed his new book, “Edge City”: a thrilling memoir that documents the author’s travels and struggles as he moved across the country, working different jobs in an attempt to find his place before finally settling down and building a steady life for himself.

“‘Edge City’ chronicles my trials and tribulations, some tragic, some heartfelt, and some humorous, as I searched for what it means to be a human in this country and on this planet,” writes Crate. “Life’s lessons are presented in journal form as I drift around the country as a migrant farm laborer, a worker in woolen mills and a tannery, farmhand, draftsman, and a troubadour at Mardi Gras, Key West, and up and down the Eastern seaboard. ‘Edge City’ ultimately becomes a call to action as I become a father, homesteader, and eventually a social worker working with the homeless, mentally ill, and often addicted as I realize we all face the challenge of survival together.”
