Hauling Water: Reflections on Making a Home in the North Woods

This book is not about striving to stay alive in the bush. If you're looking for grim determination in the teeth of blizzards and starvation while wolves howl at the door, you're holding the wrong book. The author does talk about some adventures, such as falling love and chasing bears. There are challenges, such as maintaining a marriage despite paddling a canoe together. This book is funny, honest, engaging and insightful.
