Alaska Stories A Memoir eBook Margret Kingrey Reviews
I loved this book. It was so intereting to read the author's story of how she decided to leave the US and go to Alaska to see what it was like living there and also finding her true self. It was written in a low key homey style which made it a very relaxing read. It was great how the author let you in on her personal self discovery.Alaska Stories A Memoir
I was hoping for an Alaskan adventure story. I found it pretty boring, and more than once considered not finishing the book. Not all the facts are correct - for instance you can't take the Riverboat Discovery from the Chena River and get on the Yukon River in one afternoon. I was disappointed that the answer to the author's money problems and personal worth issues was to get married to a younger man and move to New Mexico.
Alaska Stories is a personal, intimate account of a woman on a journey of self discovery. Margret Kingrey's story of quiet courage and spiritual faith unfolds in a rugged, breathtakingly beautiful and dangerous landscape, one of the last true frontiers. And yet the excitement and tension is revealed in those small personal moments of challenge and bravery, the private moments when we could so easily abandon our quests in anonymity. Margret persists, and I found myself thrilled.
Alaska Stories will invite you to push through your fears and find your greatest self.
I couldn't put this book down!This intimate memoir takes you on a fascinating and inspiring journey. Ms. Kingrey paints a vivid picture of what it would really be like to live in Alaska; to fish and kayak on pristine waterways and hike to glorious mountaintops. I felt surrounded by the beauty of Alaska without leaving my living room. A must for every bookshelf, for those days when you feel disconnected in a city and long to feel a part of the natural beauty of glaciers and the wildness of nature. A beautiful romance, a tale that is satisfying, inspiring and uplifting. A great read!
Kingrey's story of running away to Alaska during early middle age is humorous and captivating. She's looking for adventure, romance and a new life. What we all dream of from time to time. She leaves her armchair and strikes out to claim that new life. Her writing style is easy for the reader to follow and say "just one more page." I recommend this book to others, especially those who have been biten by the yearning for adventure.
I recently moved to Alaska and thought this book would be as the introduction states "romance, adventure and spiritual quest of Margaret Riddle". The only adventure this women was seeking was finding a spouse! As for the romance, she described more details on dates and excursions with the male friend who did not want a relationship than with the man who eventually became her husband. There was absolutely nothing romantic or adventurous in this book. As for the spirituality...well she wasn't seeking that! The author was already a Christian and just continued going to church on Sundays as she did prior to moving to AK.
My husband and I have been in Alaska less than three months and have had adventures like driving the Alcan Highway and being jackknifed by a semi and surviving with only bruises. Almost freezing along the way because we had to sleep in our vehicle one night. Another time we got stuck in mud in Trapper Creek. Maybe I should write a book, I know I could do a better job of it than this.
This book has served one purpose...I am able to easily fall asleep after reading a few pages after I climb in bed.
The story of Margret Kingery and her "Alaskan Stories" was truly fun, educational and inspiring! A new adventure or experience was always right around the next curve in the road or over the next mountain. It was so interesting to read about her job as an occupational therapist and how she dealt with the different situations she encountered in different areas of the United States. Her story was written with warmth and wit. She definitely demonstrated patience in some circumstances. It is a wonderful read!
This is a well written woman's memoir that I could not put down once I started reading it. It is down to earth, full of courage and most interesting. I will be giving copies of this books to friends as well. So glad she put this part of her life for us to read and relate to. It gave me interesting insight as to the inner thoughts of a woman not afraid of change. Brava Margret Kingrey.
