Description: log of a family living in the Alaskan Wilderness; covers 1979-1987 in a day-to-day journaling tone; "No internet, all research done through mail away catalogs, Mother Jones and a heavy reliance on Rodale publications." The romance and the reality of living without modern conveniences on a remote island are the grist for Joy Orth's often poetic mill. Having chosen Sergief Island, in Alaska's Stikine River, she shares her meditations on a life close to nature.
