What would happen if you built one of the world's most advanced
societies inside a forest-and strove to make women full partners in
power? After living for twenty-five years in New York, Naomi
Moriyama moved with her husband and co-author William Doyle and
their seven-year-old child to the vast forest of Finland's Karelia,
a mysterious region on the Russian border that helped inspire J.R.
R. Tolkien's Middle Earth fantasies. She entered a life-altering
zone of tranquility, peace, and beauty, the spiritual heart of the
nation ranked as the happiest nation on Earth, with among the
world's most empowered women. Finland is also the country with
cleanest air and water and the best schools, a country where
motherhood and fatherhood are championed by law, childhood is
revered, schoolchildren are required to play outdoors multiple
times a day, and trains contain mini-libraries and mini-playgrounds
for children to enjoy. It was here in the Karelian forest that
Naomi found a culinary symphony of succulent wild edibles, herbs,
berries, mushrooms and fish, all freshly plucked from the
moss-carpeted forest and sparkling clear streams. She also found
something that changed her life-a tribe of invincible women who
became her soul-sisters. As an idyllic summer and fall gave way to
a sub-Arctic winter of mind-bending darkness and cold, Naomi faced
her fears and her future. Over the course of six unforgettable
months with her family and her new "sisters", she found her life
transformed, and discovered the power that lay within her all
along. Then she tried to leave. But she kept coming back. Come,
take a journey deep into Europe's most distant, magical wilderness,
and join the sisterhood of the enchanted forest.
