Description
A poetic exploration of a family's values and strength, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Alaska's wilderness. In 1992, Jean Aspen and her family embarked on a remarkable journey, building a cabin, hunting for food, and facing the challenges of the Arctic environment. Candidly filmed and later documented in a companion film, this chronicle of their 14-month adventure is a portrait of courage, a lyrical odyssey, and authentic adventure.
From encounters with wildlife, such as a grizzly bear at arm's length, to the challenges of a six-hundred-mile river passage, this book chronicles the Aspen family's extraordinary journey into America's last frontier. With its unique blend of poetry and adventure, Arcic Son Fulfilling the Dream is a compelling read for anyone interested in the human spirit and the natural world.
