Beyond Road's End

Living our dream didn’t require outrageous abilities. Besides, this story’s far bigger than us. It’s about an entire community, and what working together can achieve.—from the Introduction

Beyond Road’s End offers a welcome escape from crowded cubicles and the fumes of freeway gridlock as readers tag along with Janice and Ed on their journey to build a new life on their own terms in rural Alaska.

The adventurous couple came to Alaska from New Hampshire with dreams of living richly in the wilderness on ten dollars a day. Ed brought his experience as a builder, and Janice brought her New England work ethic. Together they fell in love with the heartbreakingly beautiful landscape of the Far North.

Part love story, part adventure, and part natural history, Beyond Road’s End is a touching memoir of carving out a life in Alaska during the state’s coming-of-age decade between the completion of the oil pipeline and the devastating Exxon Valdez oil spill.

When Janice J. Schofield migrated to the Alaskan Bush, where she lived miles from a grocery store, she began to wonder about the possibilities of the wild harvest outside her cabin door. Out of six years of comprehensive field tests, and from anecdotes and wisdom gleaned from fellow plant enthusiasts and experts, she has brought together a lively compendium of information about the trees, roots, wildflowers, herbs, seaweed, and mushrooms of the North—from Alaska and the Yukon, through western Canada, to Washington, Oregon, and northern California.
