Arctic daughter : a wilderness journey / Jean Aspen.

Aspen, Jean, (author.).

Summary:

Setting off in an overloaded canoe, they journeyed down the Yukon River and walked upstream into the remote Brooks Range to build a cabin and live off the land. She was twenty-two, daughter of a famous woman adventurer. He was her childhood sweetheart. Four years later, they emerged from the Alaskan wilds. Now in her sixties, Jean Aspen updates her spellbinding tale of adventure in a harsh and beautiful land for a new generation. ARCTIC DAUGHTER is at once an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and a lyrical odyssey. A Reader's Digest book selection, this remarkable tale of survival and courage measures the value of dreams against the unforgiving realities of the natural world. Updated from a book first published in 1988 by Bergamot Books, Minneapolis, MN.
