Publisher's summary

In 1969, Natalie Kusz and her family abandoned the city, packed up the car, and headed to Alaska. They ended up a hundred miles from Fairbanks in a dilapidated house surrounded by 258 acres of spruce, birch and willow - and no road. When the first winter came - with Mr. Kusz working in Prudhoe Bay, money running out, and temperatures 60 below - the Kusz family was living so close to disaster that the question was not when it would strike but whom.

A story of a fulfilling life

I love stories about the struggles of living in the wilderness. So different from my own life. But similar in that all lives have struggles and successes. It is just the surroundings that differ. But still the bravery and persistence to go on in the face of such hurdles and to love it in spite of it, is inspiring.
Barbara Caruso is magnificent. Ever since listening to her read Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, I have looked for her name as narrator of books.
This was a good story.
