Manitoban Jake MacDonald discovers some of the last wild places in North America and the people who choose to live there. In telling their stories - from Inuit hunters who had been mauled by polar bears to a German soldier imprisoned in northern Ontario during World War II - MacDonald argues that the heart and soul of Canada are to be found in Shield country. On countless cold lakes, under impossibly starry skies, we come to know ourselves.

Also short-listed for the Alexander Kennedy Isbister Award.
