"Roy Taylor's account of his family's faith, joy, arduous work, setbacks, strengths, and skills will lift readers' hearts. This is the most endearing memoir you will ever read." -LAURA KALPAKIAN , novelist and author of Memory into Memoir "The Road to Courage offers readers a warm hug." -JES HART STONE , author of Turbulent Waters: A Pacific Northwest Thriller, www.jeshartstone.com "More daring than the Ingalls clan, the Taylor family will stay in your heart forever." -SEÁN THOMAS DWYER , author of A Quest for Tears: Surviving Traumatic Brain Injury Set in the mid-twentieth century, The Road to Courage is narrated by a young boy as he journeys with his family to new and wild territory on the Alaskan frontier, a land where life's priority is survival rather than comfort. This memoir sketches a portrait of his complex family-courageous, committed, flawed, and yet resilient-and, through a series of terrifying adventures, traces the unbreakable bond between the timid narrator and his fearless, fun-loving brother. The family's faith remains a central thread as the preschool brothers work beside their minister father to construct a log church in Valdez without power tools. Along the way, the reader is given a rare glimpse into life in Old Valdez, a town destroyed by the 1964 earthquake.

Roy Taylor's childhood veered into unknown territory when his family moved to the Alaskan frontier before it became a state. For the last decade, he has been writing his wilderness stories, some of which have been published in anthologies. Now retired from a forty-year career as a vascular surgeon, he enjoys hiking, gardening, cooking, and keeping up with his grandchildren.
