Sixty years after the family left Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio, I unexpectedly received a shoebox full of letters penned in 1958 by my parents, as they traveled north to Alaska. The letters prompted me to write this memoir, an exploration of memory and reflections on a time when my family built a home, lived off the land, and learned the ways of the north country. Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble as well as locally at Cover to Cover Books in downtown Seward. signed copies from the author: https://www.danlwalker.com; call me or email, Dan Walker: 907-224-3848 dlwalker@gci.net
