"Some parents will doubtless think the adventure James Campbell took his daughter on was irresponsibly dangerous or just plain crazy. But as a father myself, I'm in envious awe of the bold decision he made and the clarity with which he made it. As Braving It poignantly demonstrates, there is no better teacher than deep wilderness. Here is the essence of good writing--and good parenting, too." -- Hampton Sides , author of In the Kingdom of Ice "Any of us who've watched daughters grow up to be strong and capable in the backcountry will delight in this book--it's a wonderful new world in many ways!" -- Bill McKibben , author of Wandering Home "In this wonderful book, James Campbell and his teenage daughter set off on a great adventure to one of the most beautiful, and often perilous, places on earth--the Arctic wilderness of Alaska. They face many challenges--whitewater rapids, grizzly bears, bone-numbing cold--but none as daunting for Campbell as guiding his daughter across the great divide between childhood and maturity. Set against a primal landscape of mountains and fast-flowing rivers, Braving It is as simple and powerful as any fairy tale." -- John Hildebrand , author of Reading the River and The Heart of Things "If your idea of a good time is hordes of mosquitoes and windchills of 50 below, you are not your average dad. And if you invite your teenage daughter to enjoy these with you and she says yes, she may not be your average daughter. This is a great story of what it means to love, trust and test your kids." -- Lenore Skenazy , author of Free-Range Kids "As a father of daughters and lover of adventure, I found Braving It to be spot on--riveting, profound, open-eyed, and deeply touching. Campbell's struggle to understand and measure up to the stark and stunning Alaskan wilderness and, more importantly, to his teenage daughter--to find his place in the lives of both--becomes our struggle, too. A must-read for every striving parent and every teen striving to understand his or her parents." -- Dean King , author of Skeletons on the Zahara and The Feud, "Any of us who've watched daughters grow up to be strong and capable in the backcountry will delight in this book--it's a wonderful new world in many ways!" -- Bill McKibben , author of Wandering Home "If your idea of a good time is hordes of mosquitoes and windchills of 50 below, you are not your average dad.

Here is the essence of good writing--and good parenting, too." -- Hampton Sides , author of In the Kingdom of Ice "Braving It , the book, is a metaphor for the wilderness--the call of the wild--that James Campbell evokes in this masterfully told story. Every time I set the book down, I pondered the lessons learned, and couldn''t wait for my next sojourn into its pages. When it ended, I longed for the adventure to continue and pined for the beauty of Alaska. So I picked it up and read it again, savoring every page." -- Eric Blehm , author of The Last Season , Fearless , and Legend "Any of us who''ve watched daughters grow up to be strong and capable in the backcountry will delight in this book--it''s a wonderful new world in many ways!" -- Bill McKibben , author of The End of Nature and Wandering Home "In this wonderful book, James Campbell and his teenage daughter set off on a great adventure to one of the most beautiful, and often perilous, places on earth--the Arctic wilderness of Alaska.

Set against a primal landscape of mountains and fast-flowing rivers, Braving It is as simple and powerful as any fairy tale." -- John Hildebrand , author of Reading the River and The Heart of Things " Braving It --tender, wise, translucent--is not just an Alaskan classic, but a parenting classic. I read it with great fondness, hunger, and a deep satisfaction." -- Rick Bass , author of The Lives of Rocks and Why I Came West "If your idea of a good time is hordes of mosquitoes and wind chills of 50 below, you are not your average dad. And if you invite your teenage daughter to enjoy these with you and she says yes, she may not be your average daughter. This is a great story of what it means to love, trust and test your kids." -- Lenore Skenazy , author of Free-Range Kids "As a father of daughters and lover of adventure, I found Braving It to be spot on--riveting, profound, open-eyed, and deeply touching. Campbell''s struggle to understand and measure up to the stark and stunning Alaskan wilderness and, more importantly, to his teenage daughter--to find his place in the lives of both--becomes our struggle, too. A must-read for every striving parent and every teen striving to understand his or her parents." -- Dean King , author of Skeletons on the Zahara and The Feud " Braving It is a book full of hope. At a time when we are concerned with ravages upon the environment, this story explores the wonder and unspoiled beauty of the Alaskan wild. And at a time when our youth are consumed with technology, social media, and a sense of entitlement, we read about a teenage girl who not only chooses to venture into the wilderness, but relishes the experience. This book gives me hope for our landscape and our youth." -- Larry Beck , San Diego State University professor and author of Moving Beyond Treeline "Rarely has a book captured so well the unknown wilderness of parenting, of what it is to be a teenager and what it is for a father to learn to trust. Braving It is also a kind of guide to stepping outside one''s comfort zone. A must read for anyone trying to understand the father-daughter bond and anyone who loves wildness." -- Melissa Arnot , mountaineer "Braving It is part call to adventure, part coming of age story, and part celebration of family. A thoroughly engaging and thought-provoking read." -- Daniel L. Dustin , Professor of Outdoor Recreation, University of Utah

Synopsis
Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, home to only a handful of people, is a harsh and lonely place. So when James Campbell's cousin Heimo Korth asked him to spend a summer building a cabin in the rugged Interior, Campbell hesitated about inviting his fifteen-year-old daughter, Aidan, to join him- Would she be able to withstand clouds of mosquitoes, the threat of grizzlies, bathing in an ice-cold river, and hours of grueling labor, peeling and hauling logs? But once there, Aidan embraced the wild. She even agreed to return a few months later to help the Korths work their traplines and hunt for caribou and moose. Despite windchills of 50 degrees below zero, father and daughter ventured out daily to track, hunt, and trap. Under the supervision of Edna, Heimo's Yupik Eskimo wife, Aidan grew more confident in the woods. Campbell knew that in traditional Eskimo cultures, some daughters earned a rite of passage usually reserved for young men. So he decided to take Aidan back to Alaska one final time before she left home. It would be their third and most ambitious trip, backpacking over Alaska's Brooks Range to the headwaters of the mighty Hulahula River, where they would assemble a folding canoe and paddle to the Arctic Ocean. The journey would test them, and their relationship, in one of the planet's most remote places- a land of wolves, musk oxen, Dall sheep, golden eagles, and polar bears. At turns poignant and humorous, Braving It is an ode to America's disappearing wilderness and a profound meditation on what it means for a child to grow up--and a parent to finally, fully let go., The powerful and affirming story of a father's journey with his teenage daughter to the far reaches of Alaska Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, home to only a handful of people, is a harsh and lonely place.
