• COMING IN
When in 1927, at the age of 36, the author was left widowed with five children in remote Vancouver Island, her relatives counseled that she'd never manage on her own. But manage she did -- and she wrote this delightful book about the pleasures of exploring the coastal wilderness in a 25-foot boat. It's a funny, vivid account of the region, full of memorable detail on people and place.
