Wilderness Wife

By Kathrene Pinkerton

Set in the Canadian wilderness, Wilderness Wife tells the story of a young couple who trade city life for the challenge of building a home in the remote North. Following a doctor's advice to leave newspaper offices behind, they begin a new life of canoe travel, tent living, and log cabin building. Alongside struggles with portages, mosquitoes, storms, and uncertainty, they discover resilience, resourcefulness, and a new sense of belonging in nature. Their journey offers an intimate portrait of bush living, from makeshift camps to encounters with moose and Native settlements.

Blending vivid descriptions of lakes, forests, and wildlife with the daily demands of survival, this account captures both hardship and wonder. It is as much about personal growth as it is about endurance, as a woman unused to the outdoors learns to adapt, thrive, and find joy in wilderness life.
