{"product_id":"escape-to-clayoquot-sound-finding-home-in-a-wild-place-9781772034714","title":"Escape to Clayoquot Sound: Finding Home in a Wild Place","description":"Twenty years ago, two empty-nesters with a love of the outdoors stumbled upon a vacant beach house on a small island in Clayoquot Sound, part of an off-grid, ten-acre stretch nestled within a provincial park reserve. Our Stolen Years in Clayoquot Sound is an extended love letter to this place, chronicling the decade John and Bea Dowd spent as year-round caretakers of the property.Told with humour and heart in alternating voices, and lavishly illustrated throughout with stunning natural photography, this book a story of joyful solitude, of living in harmony with wildlife and respecting the forces of nature. It is about the fleeting definition of home and family, and about creating community in the wilderness. Above all, it is a tribute to an achingly beautiful, fragile place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heritage House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772034714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024 pg. 118\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Dowd, Bea Dowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43733045870773,"sku":"9781772034714","price":29.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9d8c8d5d-ab15-49e5-bc82-d913e13bf5a0.jpg?v=1710257648","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/escape-to-clayoquot-sound-finding-home-in-a-wild-place-9781772034714","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
