Five years in the Canadian woods, starting from scratch. Doctor's orders -- outside living, so they canoe around until they find a place to build. The husband writes, the wife learns about adaptation to the life of the wilds. As the money situation fluctuates, the house grows. They board a dog team, take out hunters, prepare for a baby, and bring her back to the cabin at six weeks. Success in the literary market gives them security and they leave. Details of daily life, the animals wild and tame, the store, friendship with the Indians -- good reading of the pioneer type.
