- Synopsis
- Helen Hoover and her husband, Adrian, were trailblazers in the American back-to-the-land movement. Well ensconced in their professional lives in Chicago, they made the decision to follow their dream of a simple existence, pulling up their stakes and plunging into the wilds of northern Minnesota. A Place in the Woods, first published in 1969, describes how the Hoovers gradually adapted to the rigors of wilderness survival. This book relates events that occurred prior to those Hoover writes about in her bestselling Gift of the Deer. This is a tale of starting out, of the pitfalls of beginning a new life-one punctuated by near disasters but also by moments of rare beauty.
