The Space Between Lakes: From Fear To Freedom In The Wild (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781997870135)

What happens when you stop waiting for someone else - and go anyway? After years of dreaming about solo backcountry travel, Christina finally takes the leap into the Canadian wilderness alone. Armed with determination, a canoe, and a healthy dose of fear, she sets out to complete her first multi-day solo trip - facing long portages, unpredictable weather, and the mental challenges of being truly alone in the wild.

But this journey becomes more than just kilometres paddled and campsites reached. With every stroke and every step, Christina discovers a deeper strength within herself - one built through resilience, vulnerability, and the courage to keep going, even when it would be easier to turn back.

Honest, relatable, and often humorous, The Space Between Lakes is a story about pushing past doubt, embracing solitude, and learning that you are far more capable than you ever believed.

Because sometimes, the only way forward... is to go alone!

EDITORIAL REVIEWS:

"Years ago, we had the privilege of supporting Camper Christina as she first stepped into the world of canoe tripping (and her first pair of KEENs). From the earliest days, we have been proud to call her our friend and have been inspired by her adventurous spirit. Seeing her journey come to life in these pages is a true full-circle moment - and we're so glad to be a small part of the path that brought her here."
