I enjoyed this book very much. Being raised in the Adirondacks, I recognized & and been to many of the places the author talked about and recognized the loneliness, beauty and uniqeness of the area. It made me homesick and brought back many happy memories of an area cherished in my heart & soul.

You will shiver with cold as the author describes the winter wind freezing Black Bear Lake up as winter sets in, marvel at her ingeniusness as she builds her log cabin by herself, cry with her when someone brings her the pelt of her pet silver fox. It was a wonderful, descriptive look into life in the Adirondack Mountains and I look forward to reading her other books. Anne LaBastille sounds like a truly remarkable woman!
