Arctic Daughter by Jean Aspen

Heeding a powerful call to the wild, Jean Aspen chronicles the start of her extraordinary life in the Alaskan wilderness in her captivating memoir, Arctic Daughter. At just twenty-two years old, Aspen boldly turned her back on modern comforts, venturing deep into the remote Brooks Range with the dream of building a log cabin and living entirely off the land. This vivid, firsthand account details the immense challenges and profound rewards of that choice—facing down Arctic extremes, learning to hunt for survival, and discovering reserves of ingenuity and courage she never knew she possessed. More than just an adventure story, this is the beginning of Aspen's journey, an inspiring testament to self-reliance, resilience, and the deep, transformative connection forged with nature in one of Earth’s most untamed corners.
