The Sun Catcher

By Hugh Mahoney

Enter the Alaska wilderness-where only the strongest survive.The Sun Catcher is a powerful portrait of a man who considers a life without risk as not worth living. At once both a fascinating adventure story and a vivid account of a family that rejects conventional living, The Sun Catcher is a work of grand scope and lyric power.Following a band of malcontents on their hazardous years-long trek deep into the Alaskan wilderness, the saga tells the story of the uncommon visionary Jack Houlihan and his indomitable wife Eula Lea who lead their family and followers on a dramatic quest to leave civilization behind. The band's odyssey leads them through a landscape both splendid and deadly where wolves, bears, and natural disasters take their tragic toll.The death of the family matriarch presages the story of Caitlin who as an adult will struggle to survive in a contemporary world for which her wilderness childhood never prepared her. The story of the nomadic band is one of harrowing adventure unfolding across a magnificent landscape, while that of Caitlin is one of struggle, heartbreak and cultural loss. The Sun Catcher is a journey of discovery. Author Hugh Mahoney paints a stunningly complex portrayal of a man and his family as they face the joys and perils of the great Alaskan wilderness.
