INSIDE: One Woman's Journey Through the Inside Passage - Book

Memoir—Finalist of the Washington State Book Award

INSIDE: One Woman's Journey Through the Inside Passage is an award-winning adventure memoir chronicling one woman's solo sea-kayaking journey along the rugged coast of western North America. Traveling more than a thousand miles through the Inside Passage—from Washington State to Alaska—in an 18-foot kayak, the author navigates shifting weather, powerful tides, close encounters with wildlife, and the profound solitude of life at sea.

Blending vivid wilderness storytelling with candid personal reflection, INSIDE places readers in the kayak alongside the author as she confronts fear, forges unexpected connections, and discovers resilience, courage, and deep gratitude along the way. Both a gripping true adventure and a moving story of personal transformation, the book has resonated with paddlers and non-paddlers alike for its eloquence, honesty, and enduring inspiration.
