Beyond Road's End - Living Free in Alaska

"Much like the early homesteaders, Jan and her husband Ed came to Alaska with a dream and little money. Ed had experience as a builder and Jan was a hard worker. Together they found a community and built a network of friends and a home. Part love-story, part adventure, and part natural history, this is a touching and fascinating memoir on life in Alaska."
