Summary:
"Award-winning Yellowstone photographer and documentary filmmaker
Brad
Orsted
's seven-year search for refuge and redemption in America's greatest wilderness. When
Brad
Orsted
's fifteen-month-old daughter, Marley, died mysteriously at the home of
Brad
's mother, he descended into madness. Blaming himself, he plunged into an abyss of grief, guilt, and self-recrimination, fueled by prescription drugs and alcohol. He planned his suicide as his wife, Stacey, searched for a new beginning. She finally found a job in Yellowstone National Park and, with their daughters, Mazzy and Chloe, the pair fled Michigan, looking for refuge and redemption in the 2.2 million acres of glorious American wilderness. Through the Wilderness begins in Yellowstone, five months after the family's arrival in 2012, when, in an alcoholic haze,
Brad
stumbled into a field of sage and survived a face-to-face encounter with an adult male grizzly bear. For the first time in almost two years, he realized he wanted to live -- he just didn't know how. Desperate for help,
Brad
invited himself to a Crow sweat lodge ceremony, where an elder told him it was time to stop grieving. The elder's words started
Brad
on a journey towards sobriety and inner peace, only possible because of lessons he learned in the wild, his new job as a wildlife photographer and filmmaker, and two orphan grizzly cubs who carried him back home and taught him how to live again.
Brad
's ten-year odyssey is about finding the wild inside the human heart. It is a journey of the spirit- a journey to forgiveness and sobriety, to love and life, to memory, and ultimately, to Marley."--Publisher.
