From the author/filmmaker of Arctic Son: Fulfilling the dream and
the book on which the Arctic Daughter: A Lifetime in the Wilderness
documentary is based. Set in the Arctic wilderness of Alaska in the
1970s, here is an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and a
lyrical odyssey. This remarkable tale of survival and courage
measures the value of dreams against the unforgiving realities of
the natural world. Heading off in an overloaded canoe, a young
couple journeyed down the Yukon River and walked upstream into the
remote Brooks Range to build a cabin and live off the land. She was
twenty-two, daughter of a famous woman adventurer. He was her
childhood sweetheart. Four years later, they emerged from the
Alaskan wilds. Now in her sixties, Jean Aspen updates her
spellbinding tale of adventure in a harsh and beautiful land for a
new generation. Arctic Daughter is at once an extraordinary journey
of self-discovery and a lyrical odyssey. A Reader's Digest book
selection, this remarkable tale of survival and courage measures
the value of dreams against the unforgiving realities of the
natural world.
