Summary:  "A memoir of a young woman reclaiming her courage in the stark landscapes of the north. By the time Blair Braverman was eighteen, she had left her home in California, moved to arctic Norway to learn to drive sled dogs, and found work as a tour guide on a glacier in Alaska. Determined to carve out a life as a "tough girl" she slowly developed the strength and resilience the landscape demanded of her. An account of her adventures in Norway and Alaska. Braverman was often terrified that she would lose control of her dog team and crash her sled, or be attacked by a polar bear, or get lost on the tundra. Above all, she worried that, unlike the other, gutsier people alongside her, she wasn't cut out for life on the frontier. But no matter what, she was hooked on the North, and she was determined to prove that her fears did not define her. She resolved to embrace the wilderness and make it her own. A portrait of self-reliance in the face of extraordinary circumstance. Braverman endures physical exhaustion, survives being buried alive in an ice cave, and drives her dogs through a whiteout blizzard to escape crooked police. She grapples with love and violence - navigating a grievous relationship with a fellow musher, and adapting to the expectations of her Norwegian neighbors - as she negotiates the complex demands of being a young woman in a man's land"--Provided by publisher.
