Babe In the Woods: Building a Life One Log at a Time (Book 1)

Babe in the woods book one by Yvonne Pepin-wakefield

Equipped with hand tools and enough naiveté and fortitude to overcome my inexperience, at age 18, I set out to build a log cabin in the wilderness. This book captures the highs and lows of a 98-pound teenager working in a man’s world — with humorous and timeless insights about confronting failures and surviving in the woods. 

Babe in the Woods: Building a Life One Log at a Time, is the first book of a trilogy, which chronicles my subsequent decades of contending with the psychological and physical challenges of living alone in this wilderness cabin. The cabin is now older and the author is wiser, but both remain sure and proud — with a story worth telling.
