After author Shannon Huffman Polson's parents are killed by a wild grizzly bear in Alaska's Arctic, her quest for healing is recounted with heartbreaking candor in North of Hope. A memoir of loss of both family as well as the fragile Arctic wilderness in the face of climate change, Polson's expedition takes her through her through the wilds of her own grief as well as the wild and untamed wilderness of Arctic Alaska. She travels from her home in Seattle to the concert hall, performing Mozart's Requiem with the Seattle Symphony, to the wilderness of her home state of Alaska--where she retraces their final days along an Arctic river. This beautifully written memoir of a woman in the wilderness is for anyone who has experienced grief and is looking for new ways to understand overwhelming loss. Readers will find empathy and understanding through Polson's journey. North of Hope is also for those who love the outdoors and find solace and healing in nature, as they experience Alaska's wild Arctic through the author's travels.
