In My Place Among Men, outdoor journalist Kris Millgate explores not only the wildest backcountry of America but her own experiences growing up poor and Mormon in Utah—and, ultimately, what it took to create a different life for herself. Her memoir is a powerful tapestry of adventure, personal growth, and identity. In the lineage of Cheryl Strayed, Millgate may look to nature to find her place, but she's just as relentless as the wild itself.

With the third installment in her My Place collection, outdoor journalist Kris Millgate follows grizzly bears through the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem for the Emmy-winning wildlife film On Grizzly Ground.

In the follow-up to her first memoir, My Place Among Men, journalist Kris Millgate migrates with Chinook salmon, the kings of the Pacific Northwest, from the Oregon coast to the Idaho wilderness.
