Arctic Daughter by Ms Jean Aspen

Arctic Daughter by Ms Jean Aspen

Setting off in an overloaded canoe, they journeyed down the Yukon River and walked upstream into the remote Brooks Range to build a cabin and live off the land. She was twenty-two, daughter of a famous woman adventurer. He was her childhood sweetheart. Four years later, they emerged from the Alaskan wilds. Now in her sixties, Jean Aspen updates her spellbinding tale of adventure in a harsh and beautiful land for a new generation. ARCTIC DAUGHTER is at once an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and a lyrical odyssey. A READER'S DIGEST book selection, this remarkable tale of survival and courage measures the value of dreams against the unforgiving realities of the natural world. First published in 1988 by Bergamot Books, Minneapolis, MN.

Jean Aspen is the oldest daughter of Connie and Bud Helmericks. Her father was legendary as the first arctic bush pilot, big-game guide, and oil company consultant. Connie wrote eight books, including Flight of the Arctic Tern, which is about their Cessna 140 bush plane, and Down the Wild River North, about a canoe journey she took with Jean and her sister in the Canadian arctic in the 1960s. Jean is the author of Arctic Daughter and Arctic Son. She lives in Homer, Alaska, with her husband, Tom Irons, but they spend three months of every year in the Alaskan wilderness.
