Wilderness wife

About this book

Brad and Vera Angier forsook civilization soon after they were married and went off to live the life of Thoreau in the wilderness of British Columbia. Then, feeling guilty that he'd talked his wife into leaving so many big city "comforts" when they'd first moved to the wilderness, Brad asked Vena to try city life again. They did, but they knew where they belonged; in Wilderness Wife they take to the woods again, back to a world where nature provides the necessities and ife is once again what it should be. The best kind of true adventure story, this is how a woods-wise couple get their food from the bounty of nature's larder, stay warm at 66 degrees below zero, travel in unmapped forests, and face the dangers of whitewater, grizzlies, wolves, and a charging moose. Here, too, is reverie in the seasons, the beauty of their green world, and the special and lasting joy of being man and wife in an interdependence no city folk can know.
