About this listen

A powerful new memoir about growing up with a hard father in a hard land

Atz Kilcher learned many vital skills while helping his parents carve a homestead out of the Alaskan wilderness: how to work hard, think on his feet, make do, invent, and use what was on hand to accomplish whatever task was in front of him. He also learned how to lie in order to please his often volatile father and put himself in harm's way to protect his mother and younger, weaker members of the family.

Much later in life, as Atz began to reflect on his upbringing, seek to understand his father, and heal his emotional scars, he discovered that the work of pioneering the frontier of the soul is an infinitely more difficult task than any of the back-breaking chores he performed on his family's homestead. Learning to use new tools - honesty, vulnerability, forgiveness, acceptance - and building upon the good helped him heal and learn to embrace the value of resilience.

This revised perspective has enabled him to tell an enhanced and more positive version of the legacy his father created and has him doing the most rewarding work of his life: mapping his own inner wilderness while drawing closer to his adult children, the next stewards of the land he helped his father carve out of the Alaskan frontier.

Don’t be fooled by people complaining on this book. In my opinion Atz was trying to atone for his past. Maybe it is hard to say to your kids you are sorry and you can’t get any more genuine than the way he put his faults and failures out there. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Overall happy with this book.

This is hands down the best book I've ever listened to! the original music that was added topped of my listening experience. I grew up watching Alaska The Last Frontier with my dad. I ended up buying this book on Amazon and sending it to him. Thank you for sharing your stories and your healing with us! it has helped me tremendously. ❤️

Best Book!

for anyone who watches Alaska the Last Frontier will love this heartfelt novel, narrated in a heartfelt wonderful way by Otz himself. he wrote This Book, beautifully writing about each of his children and his family as a young boy. He writes about his struggles and opens up his whole world of loves and regrets. I loved this book.

excellent story

Rarely does an author truly share their life with so many facets... the good, bad, triumphs, heartaches, love and loss. And for realizing some old habits need to go away so better ones can happen. Thanks for sharing!

Life as it’s truest...

I will listen to this story again. it's the best audible I've heard. I have listened to other authors read their story but Atz relived his story in this book. what a gift. I knew there was more under the surface of the show and this makes me want to hear more. I feel voyeuristic watching last frontier but I can't help it. I just love it. now I know for sure as different as your lives all are from mine you are also very much alike . wish I could come meet you Atz and hear your stories in person. ( oh yeah, I loved the show before I knew jewel was connected to you all and loved it then and love it now). where can I get a hold of the songs at the end of each chapter?I'm sharing this to my parents.they will appreciate as well

thank you! for sharing the deeper story
