Produktbeschreibung
The chronicle of a family's first year alone in Alaskan wilderness, here is a poetic exploration into what we value in life. In 1992 Jean Aspen took her husband, Tom, and their young son to live in Alaska's interior mountains where they built a cabin from logs, hunted for food, and let the vast beauty of the Arctic close around them. Jean had faced Alaska's wilderness alone before in a life-altering experience she shared in ARCTIC DAUGHTER: a Wilderness Journey. Cut off from the rest of the world for more than a year, now her family would discover strength and beauty in their daily lives. They candidly filmed themselves and later produced a companion documentary, ARCTIC SON: Fulfilling the Dream, which shows on PBS stations across the nation. From an encounter with a grizzly bear at arm's length to a challenging six-hundred-mile river passage back to civilization, ARCTIC SON chronicles fourteen remarkable months alone in the Brooks Range. At once a portrait of courage, a lyrical odyssey, and authentic adventure, this is a family's extraordinary journey into America's last frontier. Follow them at www.jeanaspen.com
Autorenporträt
Jean Aspen, daughter of Arctic explorer and author Constance Helmericks, began life in the wilderness. Throughout six decades, the natural world has remained central to her.What began as letters to their son, Lucas, when she and her husband, Tom Irons, set out to search for a different future,evolved over the seasons into many snapshots of her remarkable life. Seemingly random threads weave a tapestry of her journey, circling always back to the river that flows by their cabin in Alaska's wild Brooks Range. In Trusting the River,Aspen closes the story of her mother's books and her own early works, Arctic Daughter and Arctic Son.
