Follow Me to Alaska

De: Ann Parker

Narrado por: Theresa Bakken

A retired law enforcement officer turned pilot and a former math teacher chose to leave their home in Texas for a cabin in the wilderness of Alaska. They left life as they knew it behind to start fresh in the land of the Last Frontier. Their cabin on Cub Lake was only accessible by bush plane in the summer or snow machine during the winter, making life challenging. They knew their learning curve would be steep. What they didn't realize was living on a homestead in the wilderness of Alaska would make them face obstacles they had never experienced before.

This new chapter forced them to take every skill that they had learned in their lives to the next level. Hunting, fishing, gardening, and flying would all become key to thriving off the grid. Arctic temperatures and wild animals in the Alaska bush provided countless adventures. These tales may make you laugh, make you cry, and might possibly inspire you to follow your own dreams!

While enjoying the majestic nature surrounding them, they also learned to work together like never before. The two of them have dealt with everything from crazy chickens to bears, and ultimately even looked death squarely in the eyes. Throughout it all, Ann knew there was no place she would rather be than with Shon when he suggested, "Follow me to Alaska".

Interesting story

I enjoyed the story and makes me want to move to Alaska. Looking forward to your next adventure.

Great story

A true Alaskan adventure! The good times and bad times of living off grid in the last frontier.

An honest, intriguing story that is not Hollywood

The story was an honest telling of personal experience, so removed from the scripted Hollywood yuck that clogs TV screens. I appreciated the Faith and Hope journey as it was (is) clearly a strong part of their survival. This story of surviving up here is so refreshing it is hard to describe. Beyond these measly words is the appreciation to survive in an unforgiving place with the Grace of a loving God (not just physically but personally, in marriage) I hope to read (hear) more stories of what it is like to live in this breathtaking place. Thank you for sharing your story.

Good story, written well

First and fore most don’t be turned off by the biblical references. They are lightly scattered throughout and in my opinion a vital part of the getting to know the main character.

Secondly; enjoy the autobiography of someone who dared to do. From you’re armchair go live in the wilderness where dependence on utility companies is replaced by dependence on neighbors.

Lastly; support a good read.

Great book

story was amazing and insightful. Only thing I would say bad about it would be I wish it was categorized as religious so I would have a heads up.

The commonality with the author .

Story is factual for this type of off grid living in Alaska. Not for wimps for sure!

Makes you feel as if you’re really there!

I loved listening to this. The story itself is amazing and very well done by Theresa Bakken!

Great Book!

I really enjoyed the book. I enjoyed it so much I'm hoping she writes another.

Inspiring

This story will make you cry, laugh, and dream. This book is truly one of the best and most honest accounts about adventure I’ve ever read.
