Title: Wilderness Mother
Description: "Wilderness Mother is Deanna Kawatski's fascinating and moving contemporary account of raising a family in the Canadian wilderness. Without electricity or running water, over a hundred miles from the nearest paved road and cut off from most contact with the outside world, Kawatski, her husband, and their two children fashion a life almost unique in the 20th century." "The book focuses on motherhood: the anxieties of bearing children in the outback without reliance on medical care, the difficulties - and joys - of coping with infants in a wilderness setting, and the challenges of education, socialization, and safety for the children in the face of almost total isolation." "Wilderness Mother is a unique and inspiring story, wonderfully told."--BOOK JACKET.
