A troubled dad takes his family north into the wild... what could possibly go wrong? Interlaced with the story was some insight into some of the stark differences that exist for those living in Alaska. Also a revelation about all those who went to Alaska to “get off the grid”. It was the kind of book where you learn something about an entirely different way of life in another part of America. Critics be damned...” too much of a white person’s perspective”, etc.... hey: it’s a novel!
