"Here is a warmly analytical true story of a group--not even a community--who managed, by not managing, to remain free and unfettered and admirably, strongly protective of a most precious natural territory." -- the late Margaret E. Murie, author, environmentalist

This is the odd, funny, true story of a city couple who find themselves trying to fit into an isolated village, accessible only by foot or boat. Stehekin is a classic tale of resistance to the encroachment of modern culture, finding simplicity in life with less, and what it means to both live independent of mass culture and, yet, be dependent on the group you find yourself with.
