Northern Survival

Olive Tweed planned her trip for two years. She’d vacation at Summer Beaver, gather the research material needed to write the next book and spend a few days hiking the vast wilderness. When she is called home unexpectedly and boards a chartered plane, she never dreamt it would crash, leaving her alone with a man who knew nothing about survival or the woods. If they don’t put aside their differences and work together, they’ll never escape alive.

“Northern Survival” was inspired by a video created by a pilot who recorded the crash of his small plane in Northern Quebec. The only reason he survived was because the plane had a parachute.

If you love stories of adventure, survival challenges and characters who test each others ability to endure, you’ll love “Northern Survival”.

Book Quote (Olive): “You don’t believe me now but wait. You’ll see. The first night you lay in bed surrounded by four walls with the window closed, you’ll wonder where those sounds are. You’ll start to wonder if everything on the planet is dead. It will be so quiet, so void of life you’ll feel like you’re sleeping in a tomb.”

Book Quote (John’s perspective): He rested his cheek against the top of her head. In their short time together, they had endured more than some married couples. In the real world, they’d have parted after the first disagreement, never to see each other again. But, here, where they existed purely for each other, their time together had created a connection he couldn’t deny. They were friends in spite of their differences or perhaps because of them.

Book Quote (Olive’s perspective): She stared at the bright red apple with streaks of green. Her mouth watered at the thought of the juice that would spring forth when her teeth dug into its flesh. She’d seal her lips around the bite and suck the sweet liquid in slowly to fill her mouth with joy.

Book Quote (John’s perspective): The woman was like books he’d read, ones that were slow to start, ones he often put down to pick up later because something nagged at him to return to the story but didn’t excite him enough to read every day. Books like that didn’t capture his full attention until he was three-quarters of the way through, then he was hooked and devoured the rest like the final bites of a juicy steak.

Book Quote: John: “Incredible. You shouldn’t have seen 50. How do you feel?”

Olive: “Like I’m 23 again except I love life more. I’m here for the fun of it, the adventure. It’s why I don’t watch TV, avoid the news and don’t spend energy on the junk society thinks is important because it’s not. Each day, I’m living.”

He laughed. “Even here? With a city boy lost in the woods?”

“You make it challenging, but I enjoy the hike. I’d prefer more food, better accommodations, cream for my tea but…” She twitched her nose. “It could be worse. I’m alive and well, and that’s all that truly matters.”

Northern Survival – a book you’ll burn through in a weekend.
