Review # 1 was written on 2014-04-26 00:00:00 William H. Brooks I thought this would be a book about two women bumbling around in the wilderness, but the author learned fast and had some hair-raising adventures. Making and selling moonshine, running her own trapline, falling through the ice on a lake complete with her entire dog team . . . these are just a few of the anecdotes that made her seem foolhardy in the extreme. Nevertheless, she writes about her life in an engaging way. I enjoy personal memoirs and this was quite an interesting read. I am curious to know what her daughter, who was only five years old when they moved to a remote area near Vanderhoof, British Columbia in 1969, thinks about her childhood.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-09 00:00:00 Jennifer Cook I fell in love with this book, the places it took me and the characters. I read this at age 23 and it touched me so much I just had to write to the author. And she wrote back! She still emails from time to time and is a true kindred spirit. Shout out to Sunny! I still remember the magic that book brought to my life.
