Description
Now in paperback, the gripping and inspiring tale of a woman’s survival on my own within the Arctic.
In 1921, four men and one woman ventured deep into the Arctic. Two years later, just one returned.
When 23-year-old Inuit Ada Blackjack signed on as a seamstress for a top-secret Arctic expedition, her goal used to be simple: earn a living and discover a husband. But her terrifying experiences–both within the wild and back in civilization–comprise one of the vital amazing untold adventures of the 20th century. In accordance with a wealth of unpublished materials, including Ada’s never-before-seen diaries, bestselling creator Jennifer Niven narrates this true story of an unheralded woman who turned into an unlikely hero.
