Join Wilderness Book Club to discuss our latest book, The Sun is a Compass by Caroline Van Hemert.
This an extraordinary journey into the wild—both the untamed landscapes of the Arctic and the depths of human resilience. When a scientist feels trapped in the confines of academia, she and her partner set off on a 4,000-mile expedition by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe, from the Pacific rainforest to the Arctic coast. Along the way, they face grizzlies, fierce weather, and the raw beauty of untouched wilderness. But more than just an adventure, this memoir explores the delicate balance between knowledge and intuition, civilization and wildness, and the search for a life guided by wonder.
Join us as we discuss this thrilling tale of grit, love, and the call of the wild.
