YEARS OF THE FOREST

This is a book that takes us inside the Hooversâ€™ wilderness home during those sixteen Years of the Forest and lets us experience not only the joys and the techniques but also the challenges and travails of going it alone in the beautiful but not always accommodating wilderness, far from the technology and services that city people take for granted. It is a book of wilderness adventure, it is an education in the ingenuities of wilderness housekeeping, filled with practical details about making do, building and rebuilding, gardening for fun and for food, even advice about getting away from getting-away-from-it-all.
Â
Good times and Hard times, good neighbors and bad neighbors, the strains engendered by conflicting viewsâ€”and passionsâ€”about the use of the environment: Mrs. Hoover shares her experience without stint. But above allâ€”over, under, and all around her straightforward and practical approach to life in the wildernessâ€”there is, as always, the sensitive and moving awareness of nature (especially of the animals with whom she and her husband shared the forest, often helping them through starving winters) that is the special quality of her writing and her life.
