A soul-satisfying journey through the wilderness that uncovers
hope, healing, and the abiding grace of wild things  A Wild
Path is author Douglas Wood’s highly anticipated followup to the
critically acclaimed memoir Deep Woods, Wild Waters. He again leads
readers along a meditative path through a wilderness of many
dimensions—from the lakes and islands of his beloved Canoe
Country to rugged ocean coasts to a mountain chasm, from camping on
the Canadian Shield to listening to the soft strains of Beethoven
in the pines, and from the pain of childhood wounds to appreciation
for a life rich with nature. As on every good journey, there is
plenty of laughter, warmth, and humor on the trail. Â With
the generosity and compassion of a good wilderness guide, Douglas
Wood welcomes readers to accompany him as he navigates his
life-path from struggling student and “worst reader in the
class” to prolific writer and best-selling author. He offers
courage and hope to those who feel different or left behind, and he
shares how he found, through the counsel of rocks, trees, and
waters, his own way toward joy and wonder and an unshakable sense
of belonging. Â Exploring the meanings of myriad outdoor
experiences, Wood seeks to understand the importance and existence
of beauty, the emotional poignancy of a wilderness sunset, and the
realization of dreams, while also honoring his outdoor and literary
mentors, including Sigurd Olson and Aldo Leopold. Traveling across
continents, over oceans, and through the landscape of time, A Wild
Path ranges from solitary shorelines of introspection to peaks of
triumph, finding rest and tranquility in a simple cup of jasmine
tea, sipped by a campfire under the stars.
