One of the best books I have ever read ! I read it eight or nine years ago and I loved it ... I just re-read it with my book club and it was even better the second time . It is hard to believe that someone could survive a journey like that. The will to live is incredibly strong and Mary Ingles was an amazing woman. I would highly recommend this book.

This may be my new favorite author!!! I loved this book. It is incredibly well written and kept me turning the pages to see what happens next. There is such a great blend of humor and reality as we see the clash of two totally opposite lifestyles.. The tofu-eating environmentalist and the poor Mexican and his wife just struggling to survive... A great story by a very talented author.
