Description

Ecologist Anne LaBastille created the life that many of us dream about. When she and her husband divorced, she needed a place to live. Through luck and perseverance, she found the precise spot: a 20-acre parcel of land within the Adirondack mountains, where she built the cozy, primitive log cabin that became her permanent home. Miles from the nearest town, LaBastille needed to rely on her wits, ingenuity, and the assistance of generous neighbors for her survival. In precise, poetic language, she chronicles her adventures on Black Bear Lake, capturing the power of the landscape, the rhythms of the changing seasons, and the wonderful thing about nature’s many creatures. Most of all, she captures the struggle to balance her need for companionship and love with her desire for independence and solitude. Woodswoman isn’t simply a book about living within the wilderness, this is a book about living that incorporates a lesson for us all.
