Cut From The Wilderness: The True Story of an Alaskan Homestead Girl

is about survival. It is filled with adventure, hardships, lonesomeness, poverty, and adaptation. The story reveals the author's strength of character-and acceptance of what life dealt. Through the eyes of a young girl, Cut From The Wilderness gives a glimpse of what it was like growing up on a homestead in rugged Alaska. She demonstrates that people made do with what they had instead of society dictating the needs of people-Alaskans sufficed with far less. Blending her story with her great grandparent's and grandparent's story gives a remarkable history lesson of what Alaska was like during territorial days.
