Escape to Alaska

Escape To Alaska

Ever thought of quitting your job to follow your dreams? Wished you never had to do that commute or sit behind that desk again? After five years of trying, Guy Grieve finally gave it a go. He swapped the comfort of his Edinburgh office to build a log cabin in the bear-infested forests of Alaska.

He traded in his car for a team of savage huskies, almost losing his hand the first time he tried to run them. And he gave up home cooking for the beaver caught from a freezing lake. Causing much debate at home, Guy headed off to this harsh but beautiful wilderness without his wife and two young boys. But can the family deal with their dream becoming a reality? Will Guy survive the winter and get back home?
