The book is a personal memoir of our family's adventure living in the Canadian wilderness near Alaska, and a snapshot of that time and place in the history of this remote region of the country.

The place at the end of all roas was called Glenora, beside the Stikine River. The dirt road simply ended on the rocky shore of the river. Past that point for hundreds of miles to the south, west and north, there were no roads and no people until the river finally reached Alaska, 150 miles away. It was there and beyond where we lived and raised our family for many years. In the late winter we left our van by the frozen river and went 17 miles (25 km) further down the river on the ice, to live in a tiny 8x10 foot abandoned log cabin homestead.

This is the story of our life in the Stiline wilderness, raising a family of three children, creating our own electricity, growing vegetables for the town and eventually helping develop a salmon fishery in the Stikine River wilderness with the Tahiltan First Nation people of the Stikine.
