"Full of fine sense details . . . fascinating reading . . . joins that scant handful of good books by women about the challenge and hard-won joy of bush life lived to its fullest." --THE ANCHORAGE TIMES, "This stark, philosophical work chronicles Aspen, an artist and daughter of the author-adventurer Connie Helmer¬icks, who, at the age of 22, chose to sojourn into the wil¬derness of Alaska, above the Arctic Circle, and live off the land. Aspen was accompanied by her first husband-to-be Phil; her harsh, relentlessly honest journal depicts two stoics who ate salted and dried horse meat, berries, eve¬n under miserable circumstances raw, rubbery moose that contained 'the wriggly pearl of a maggot.' The couple encountered no other humans for almost a year, and in that time the author sought the 'essence of experience . . . that elusive something that makes the world sparkle.' Aspen believed that civilization snatches away more than it gives in return: 'I'm not certain that all our toys are worth what we pay for them.' Rather, she endured the brutal weather and exalted when the sun returned after a 60-day absence: 'Life isn't safe, no matter how carefully you plan. . . . You may as well enjoy the ride.' Aspen's journey isn't pretty reading, but her voice is memorable and her endurance marvelous." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
