"Deanna is a woman deeply in tune with, and in love with, Nature. When she married a bush man and raised her two children in the wilderness of northern British Columbia, she created a home in the deepest sense of the word. A beautifully written memoir that takes you into the heart of a landscape and way of life that most people will never experience."
"I read this book years ago, but it remains one of my favorites. I frequently recommend or lend it to anyone I think might be interested. This is the memoir of Deanna Kawatski. One summer while working at a fire tower in a remote area of British Columbia, she meets a man who is homesteading there. They marry, and settle on his homestead, truly living the wilderness life. They hunt, garden, preserve food, build and add on to their home, have two children (who are then home-schooled), and in general enjoy the solitude and rugged beauty of their mountain home. I LOVE the part where they snowmobile to a hot spring in the middle of winter and enjoy a luxurious soak! This memoir details the wonders and the difficulties of living a truly "wilderness" life."
