Finding God's presence when all seems lost sounds like a tall order. Especially during times when your own personal wilderness can feel too overwhelming to believe you will ever find the way out.  This is the story of a woman who faced her wilderness with the kind of courage that grows stronger instead of weaker. One who called out to the Lord in her day of trouble... and got answers. In her own words she not only tells the truth of her long journey and the heartbreak of devastation where a normal life should have been, but the secrets of how she survived it, as well. Come along with Carol as she shares the many treasures she found along the way and exactly how you can make them your own. We all find ourselves in difficult places at some time in our lives. The secrets she talks about in these pages are what she believes made all the difference. You may never look at your own wilderness in quite the same way, again.

MS took it all--the ability to walk, read, sing, and my teaching career--all except my faith. Everything that told me who I was and everything that gave life meaning, stripped away in one massive attack. MS catapulted me into my wilderness. What do you do, and who are you, after that kind of loss? Is there meaning, purpose, or value in life anymore? If God is good, there has to be a way through...even something as devastating as MS. I determined to find all the good I could along this path. Jesus knows His way around the wilderness--He has been there. He walks Through The Wilderness with us. These are some of the treasures I found.

Here is the story of how Stella Madison becomes committed (in more ways than one) to a rag-tag group of misfits who decide to pool their resources and make a run for an abandoned lodge in Alaska. A place where it is rumored that seniors do not have to pay taxes and it is possible to survive completely off the land, even if they have no income at all. At the very least, they might fare better than living in the city, where each has to fend for themselves. Times being what they are. The only real expense is getting there. However, one of their group is acquainted with an old captain-turned-inventor who lives out in the bay on a monstrosity of a sailboat called the Dreadnaught. And while it hasn't been out of the harbor in years, it does fall within their budget to charter it. That is, if they skip the extra expense of a crew and all sign on as hands. Except Stella has never been out on a boat in her life...

"It had gone by too fast. Not that I was worried about missing anything, I had been busy with other things. About forty years busy. Now, old dreams were popping up and starting to look better every day. Probably just daydreams.
 Except daydreams usually didn't hang around for forty years.
 Money could be a problem, too. But when wasn't it? We had a nice place, here, that took a lot of years to get the way we wanted it. I liked it a lot. I just wasn't ready to sit around on the porch and drink coffee for the rest of my life. Not yet, annyway.
 This kind of advennture could be just the thing to give us a change in perspective. I was pretty sure of that. 
 But I wasn't so sure how to convince my wife..."

Here is the story of how one man managed to climb out of retirement, buy the boat of his dreams, and take it up through the Inside Passage-past thousands of islands-without modern navigational aids. All the way to Alaska.
