In suburban Arizona, 1965, Connie Helericks announces to her two daughters, 12-year-old Ann and 14-year-old Jean, that �we�re going to make a canoe expedition to the Artic Ocean�. And for two successive summers that�s exactly what they did. This book is the vividly written story of their adventures in the remote northern reaches of Canada and the Arctic, in a twenty-foot canoe, amidst a wondrous and vast landscape. A wilderness adventure, and a story of family bonds and spiritual renewal.
