I look forward to more travel and naturalist books by this writer and other strong women taking journeys most of us wouldn't.. I love it deeply and highly recommend it alethamc This book may have changed my life, I love it deeply and highly recommend it.. Freedom I read this book one winter day tucked safely and warmly under my bed covers. In the summer I signed up for a kayak trip with the author. Did the book inspire me--you bet! And I've been going on adventure trips ever since. I've bought the book for friends who love it as well. It's an exciting read but more importantly, for me, a life changer.

As her account reveals, she meets many generous people and a variety of animals and sea creatures on the trip and finds a sense of peace within herself. . Sometimes fearless, sometimes terrified (of the currents, wolves, bears, and strange men), Hahn remains honest and thoughtful about her experiences.

All the more reason for the adventurous Hahn to try it. Kathleen Shanahan, Kensington, MD Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
