About this listen
"The encounter was so sudden it took my breath away, and for a single moment I stood frozen, staring into the grizzly's eyes. It was so close I could reach out and touch its shaggy bronze fur."
Dolly Faulkner has many heart-stopping moments of terror and anxiety, living much of the time truly alone in the Alaskan wilderness. But she is not lonely, as the awesome space and beauty of the mountains fill her with appreciation of all things of nature.
Dolly Faulkner came to Alaska as a young woman with the dream of living in the wilderness. Forty Years in the Wilderness is a true reality of carving out a homestead in the Kilbuck Mountains near a minor hotsprings that the regional Native corporation is now trying to claim. She is now a senior citizen, still living in the wilderness after the death of her husband. Her struggles and adventures continue, so she has many more stories to tell.

Not What I Expected From the Title and Summary
The melodrama with her family went on and on. I felt terrible for her at first, but listening nonstop to how awful her husband and step children were to her and how she was nothing but loving got me suspecting that I was only hearing one side of the story. It didn't help that she read with a sarcastic tone at times (unintentional, I'm sure), which added to making me think this way. She didn't seem like a likable enough character. I gave up.
