A memoir duet about life reduced to the basics, living immersed within wild Nature, near the turning of the millennium. The first part reads like a long letter to a dear friend, an engaging personal story of Dorothy’s courageous “Great Escape” from conventional society to fulfill her long-held dream of living a simple life close to Nature. Ed continues the narrative in part two, written many years after their island sojourn came to an abrupt end, drawing on cherished memories of their time together on Vargas, as well as extensive notes Dorothy wrote over the years, fully intending to continue her story someday.

Two stories, two people, sharing and achieving one dream.
