July 9th, 2007 - A Place in the Woods by Helen Hoover
A Place in the Woods by Helen Hoover is her tale of moving to the woods back in 1954. The book covers their first year in a cabin and a summer cottage in the north woods of Minnesota. (So, of course, I HAD to read it.) From having almost no money (after buying not one but two houses) to their car getting wrecked (45 miles to the Village) to a bear in the basement to the beauty of the north woods in the winter and the spring and the summer….A great story of 2 city folks adapting to living in the wilderness. An excellent read!
And now to get her book that tells of their life later on, Gift of the Deer, but which was written before this one. And maybe a couple others she also wrote–they sound like they could also be about this place.
