"Powerful—perhaps the most important and beautiful memoir of youth since Mary McCarthy's Memories of a Catholic Girlhood. "
—Booklist
In 1969, when she was sixyears old, Natalie Kusz, with her parents and three siblings, left Los Angeles and headed north to Alaska on a classic quest for freedom, a house on the land, and a more wholesome way of living.
