The Only Kayak: A Journey into the Heart of Alaska

About this book

Heacoxs book is both a coming-of-(middle)age memoir and a love story with Alaska serving as both the journeys end and the beloved. While Heacox writes passionately about his home in Glacier Bay he also acknowledges the inevitability of change there. In prose that is both lyrical and powerful he gives the reader a complete picture of the beauty of that wilderness and what will be lost in its deterioration. Annotation 2004 Book News Inc.
