"Wildly Inside" transports you through the Inside Passage of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska—-a visual journey where you'll smell the muskiness of a whale's breath, hear the thunderous waves of a wide-awake ocean, feel the reverberations of the big ships passing by, and be totally awestruck by the magic of it all. Travel through the Salish Sea, the Great Bear Rainforest, and coastal Southeast Alaska via imagery created largely at the pace of a kayak. Witness the beauty of this remarkable seascape while learning about the creatures who make their homes here. This photo book makes a lovely companion to the author's award-winning memoir "Inside: One Woman's Journey Through the Inside Passage." One dollar of each book sale will benefit Pacific Wild, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia. EDITORIAL REVIEW: "Wildly Inside" is an amazing, blazing companion to Susan Marie Conrad's riveting narrative account, "INSIDE," about her 1,148-mile solo kayak journey through the Inside Passage to Alaska. This book is packed full of one stunning picture after another, complemented by inspirational quotes and nature factoid nuggets. Every page is a wonderful window into one of the most beautiful geographical areas in the world, and at the same time a progressive reveal of the author's soul, overflowing with honor, respect and love for the challenging coastal corridor she paddled through, dodging bodacious bears, breaching whales, haystack waves, and topaz icebergs. Go ahead, take the ride with this adventurer, writer, photographer, and mermaid with a kayak tail—you won't be disappointed! ~ Michael Modzelewski, author "Inside Passage: Living with Killer Whales, Bald Eagles, and Kwakiutl Indians”

INSIDE: One Woman's Journey Through the Inside Passage

The Ocean is calling me. This is my Journey.
With these words, in the spring of 2010, Susan Marie Conrad scaled her world down to an 18-foot sea kayak and launched a solo journey that took her north to Alaska. With no sense of where she belonged in space and unreconciled feelings of a painful childhood following her, she decided that instead of running away, she would run toward her dreams. Her adventure took her along the western coast of North America, through the Inside Passage--a 1,200-mile ribbon of water--in a journey of the sea and soul.
The expedition took her deep within herself, humbling her, healing her, helping her to discover the depths of her own strength and courage. On her way from Anacortes, Washington, to Juneau, Alaska, she grappled with fear and exhaustion, forged friendships with quirky people in the strangest places, endured perilous weather and angry seas, and pretended not to be intimidated by 700-pound grizzly bears and 40-ton whales.
She lived her dream.
