A boy and the town that raised him - Growing up in Atlin, BC

With natural story-telling ease and wit, Brad tells his story of growing up in an isolated, northern gold rush town, surrounded by his family's many huskies and malamutes. It was an innocent time, when imagination was king, and the wilderness was a playground.

Boyhood Fun

This was the era when kids ran free when they weren't in school, and Brad and his buddies knew how to have fun. With self-deprecating humor Brad describes their childhood adventures:

  • fishing
  • fort building
  • swimming
  • sneaking into old buildings
  • hooky bobbing
  • braving the terror of his own haunted house

Northern Life

The author combines his own memories with the tongue-in-cheek writings of his mom to describe the Northern existence in a tight-knit community. Hunting, fishing, trapping, and mushing were all part of everyday life. He tells of average life and average people, who in their daily lives did extraordinary things that pushed their boundaries and took them out of their comfort zones. In doing so, it made them anything but average.

The reader will enjoy this moving and adventurous romp through a unique childhood.

What readers are saying:

It is an absolute must read! - Terry Milos, author of North of Familiar

I absolutely love this book. It's such a well written book of life in small town Canada. The author's childhood sounds just magical and yet it took a lot to be able to survive in such a remote area with none of the modern conveniences we take for granted today. - Kelly, Amazon Reviewer

An Adventurous Romp

This story will take the reader on an adventurous romp through a unique childhood, in a place like no other, at a time when kids were allowed to be kids. It will kindle nostalgic feelings for some, a yearning for adventure in others.
