PERSEVERANCE Life and Death in the Subarctic

Author Stephan Kesting narrates the harrowing story of his six-week thousand-mile canoe trip in the Canadian North following a life-saving kidney transplant. His solo trip is fraught with danger, such as bears and other wildlife, as well as the weather and the water itself. This journey is also filled with joy--at the kindness of strangers met along the way, at the wonders of nature, and at the peace and solitude found within oneself. Kesting not only covers the triumphs and setbacks of each day, he also offers wisdom about canoeing, performance, and other valuable life lessons. His narration feels like an intimate glimpse of his life as he takes listeners on an amazing trip. L.M.G. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2025]
