After her divorce, Marty Husk decided it was time for a new adventure-not for sadness. So she packed up her two young sons and left her older daughter and mother in Evansville, Indiana, to take a job as a teacher and principal at a tiny school in the Alaskan bush. For a self-described city gal who had never been camping and who didn't even particularly enjoy picnics, the move might seem an odd choice. But Marty was awed by the state's beauty from the moment their Cherokee Six charter plane flew through a mountain pass and the wilderness unfolded beneath them. So began their adventure in Chignik Bay, where Marty soon discovered what it meant to be a teacher and administrator in rural Alaska. This journal of her first two years in the bush is a firsthand account of the challenging, enlightening, and sometimes downright wacky things a teacher in an isolated area must learn how to handle. In the end, all the challenges were worth it to her-as an educator, and as a human being.
