The Good Life: Up the Yukon without a Paddle

“We knew nothing about the wilderness, but in a way that was our greatest strength… We would probably fail daily and eventually have to give up, but true failing for us, would have been to not even try.” Told with warmth and humour, this is the compelling account of a young couple who give up a comfortable life in England to start a new one in the wilderness of the Yukon. They revel in the stark beauty of the landscape and rise to the challenges that confront them that include crossing frozen rivers, hunting caribou, facing bears, avoiding wolves and building their own log cabin from the materials around them. This story will convince readers to stop putting their dreams on hold.
