"A revelatory memoir of the author's efforts to develop the strength and resilience to survive in the demanding landscapes of Norway and Alaska describes her physically exhausting survival endeavors on a ruthless arctic tundra marked by violent natural and human threats."--NoveList.
Braverman recounts her efforts to develop the strength and resilience to survive in the demanding landscapes of Norway and Alaska. She left California to move to arctic Norway to learn to drive sled dogs, and found work as a tour guide on a glacier in Alaska. Developing strength and resilience that the landscape demanded of her, Braverman describes her physically exhausting survival endeavors on a ruthless arctic tundra marked by violent natural and human threats.
This was a great read! If you wanna read an engaging autobiography, pick this up! Braverman talks about her first few years of experience dogsledding. (!!)! Content warning: sexual violence, dudes being assholes.
