Remote by Dj Lee
When DJ Lee's friend and mentor disappears in the vast Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness of Idaho and Montana, she travels there to seek answers. The disappearance unexpectedly brings to an end Lee's fifteen-year quest to uncover the buried history of her grandparents in this remote wilderness. Lee doesn't find all the answers but comes away with a penetrating memoir that weaves the present-day narrative with past trips, family secrets, and wilderness history. Through wild animal encounters, near-fatal river crossings, bush plane flights in dense fog, raging forest fires, and strange characters who have come to the wilderness to seek or hide, she learns how to survive.
In Remote, DJ Lee has achieved an intricate weave of myriad strands, of the lives of family members and strangers past and present as well as her own intimate knowledge and experience, as she explores the perilous and profound implications of wilderness and in particular the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness of Idaho and Montana" —Mary Clearman Blew, author of Jackalope Dreams and Ruby Dreams of Janis Joplin

A profound pleasure to read." —Joy Passanate, author of Through a Long Absence: Words from My Father's Wars
