This is a gripping and brutally honest memoirof love and loss that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the firstpage to the last.—Elise Atchison, author of CrazyMountain.The mountains of Montana are big and wild, as was their love, their life, and their struggle. Maggie and Rock lived a big life, replete with backcountry horse camping deep into the mountains of Montana, snow boarding, farming and travel. When Rock is diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, Maggie must learn how to care for him as his health fades and they seek alternative medical solutions. This is her first-hand account of living with that trauma, what methods they explored, what worked, and what didn't. It's also a story of profound love and loss with the power of adventure, wilderness and heartbreak. This is a brutally honest approach, and Anderson holds no punches when it comes time to express her true emotions in the face of great hardship.This book shines a bright light on the power of being alive, and the strength it takes to support the people we love—through the good and the bad times.

Beyond the Rio Gila is, quite simply, a compelling coming-of-age story that brings history to life. It's highly recommended reading that should be in any collection strong in historical novels. -D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book ReviewAn epic adventure of hardship and endurance, Beyond the Rio Gila follows Moses Cole, a young Virginia farmboy, who runs away from home to join the First Dragoons and their expedition from Pennsylvania to California during the Mexican-American War. He discovers mentorship under a fellow private, Abner Black, a former professor chased by personal demons. A concurrent journey by Latter-day Saints fleeing religious persecution-the Mormon Battalion, which includes four laundresses, two of whom were pregnant-soldiers through the longest march in U.S. infantry history. Their stories converge in the daunting wilderness of the American southwest, where man was not master of the landscape, and the sanity, courage, and perseverance of each is tested. Based on events preceding the American Civil War, this literary historical novel places readers in the vast frontiers of the west ablaze with battles over land, religion, and politics. As an enthusiastic history buff, I was captivated by the retelling of this epic military expedition and its significance in the unfolding formation of the United States. -Susan Brown, Pacific Book Review

"A rewarding and enriching fusion of traditional wisdom, science and first-hand experience." -Tristan Gooley, author of The Natural Navigator, and How to Read NatureDrawing from a similar lifestyle and environmental ethic as Henry D. Thoreau and Aldo Leopold, Babcock has lived more than two decades off-grid in northern Minnesota. Here he discovered a balance in the interconnectedness of all life in the forest, and derived his sustenance from hunting, fishing, gardening, gathering wild food, and providing his water from a hand-pump well and minimal electricity from the sun. He befriended an Ojibwe Elder, Chi-Ma''iingan (Big Wolf), from whom he learned the Seven Grandfather Teachings (Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility, and Truth). In this collection, Babcock shares his love of the natural world through a unique land ethic that combines the ideology of Thoreau and Leopold, and that which he learned from Chi-Ma''iingan.Babcock has been active in supporting the environment and wildlife for more than two decades, and was recently featured in the documentary films: Medicine of the Wolf, and Wolf Spirit.From the pages: "We must stop seeing the natural world as a commodity and start seeing it as we would see a family member, something to love, protect, care for, and cherish."
