<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Jean Aspen, daughter of arctic explorer and author Constance Helmericks, began life in the wilderness. Throughout six decades, the natural world has remained central to her. What began as a series of letters to her son, Lucas, when she and her husband Tom set out to search for a different future, evolved over the seasons into a many snapshots of her remarkable life. All those seemingly random threads have woven the tapestry of her journey and the journey of the river flowing by the remote cabin. In <em>Trusting the River</em>, she closes the circle of her mother's books and her own early work, <em>Arctic Daughter</em>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"With heartfelt remembrances of the wilderness and of the people who influenced her in the quest for a peaceful co-existence, this is Jean Aspen in her element and at her best. Coping with a devastating loss, she writes, 'Sometimes I am powerful and rushing, at other times, deep and still or frozen beneath the snow. I am becoming the River.' These same words might well define her writing: powerful and rushing; deep and still."</p><p>--Stephen Reynolds, author of <i>Beyond the Killing Tree</i></p><br>
