From the Author:

"Although I did not recognize it at the time, I came to Canada hurt most immediately by the death of my granddaughter...also by an accumulation of losses over the years. For as long as I can remember, Canada has been in my mind a place of sanctuary a nation of peacekeepers. For someone seeking a "Walden", what better credentials could a location afford? I also imagined the Maritimes to be a place of unspoiled natural beauty a place where I might find old-fashioned civility and values. I was not disappointed."

From the Back Cover:

In the spirit of Henry David Thoreau's classic story Walden, Marlene Denessen, a veteran Psychologist and bereaved grandparent, acquired a small parcel of land in the woods near the Maritime village of Dipper Harbour, New Brunswick, and settled into a tiny cabin that she named "Little Dipper."

This memoir is a story of the many moods of the New Brunswick forest and Fundy waters, which come together to contribute in a journey of regeneration, self-discovery and healing. It is a journal of a time apart, given over to the thrall of nature and to the movement of a mysterious energy some call God.

It is also a tribute to the people of New Brunswick: neighbours who welcome friends and strangers alike; local residents who personify the home spirit of community; the fishermen who epitomize the strength and endurance of the Fundy waters; people of many walks of life who carry on a cultural tradition of stirring quality that is passed down through generations and ensures the Maritimes a unique wholeness all its own.
