Bøger i Tales from Sleeping Moose serien

In 1976, two idealistic newlyweds find what they believe is the perfect spot to settle, at the very end of a dirt road in Sleeping Moose, Alaska. They soon learn that 'end of the road' living is not for the faint of heart. Luckily, they have two great mentors, homesteaders from the 1950s, who teach them everything they'll need to know, in order to cope with life in the bush.

If you thrill when choosing the road less taken, and you are nostalgic when it comes to times gone by, then you should have enjoyed Volumes 1 and 2 of the Sleeping Moose series. They were such free romps through woods and meadows, who wouldn't love that? But now we enter a new year, and many of the paradigms have changed. This winter on the mountain seems harder than the years that came before. At times the pioneers' circumstances take on a desperation that calls to mind the difficulties of the Donner Party. Kate's journal from the winter of 1979-'80 gives a realistic account of daily life and bare survival out in the Alaskan Bush.
