Amazon.com description: Product Description:
After her husband died in 1927, leaving her with five small children, everyone expected the struggles of single motherhood on a remote island to overcome M. Wylie Blanchet. Instead, this courageous woman became one of the pioneers of Âfamily travel,â acting as both mother and captain of the twenty-five-foot boat that became her familyâs home during the long Northwest summers. Blanchetâs lyrically written account reads like fantastic fiction, but her adventures are all very real. There are dangersÂrough water, bad weather, wild animalsÂbut there are also the quiet respect and deep peace of a woman teaching her children the wonder and awesome depth of the natural world. ÂFilled with observations on natural history and the wonders of the wild, (Blanchet's) prose, like the waterfall she describes, sings.âÂKliatt
