At twenty-five, Patricia moved from Britain to Canada to work in northern Labrador as a midwife. She treated Inuit, Innu, and white settler families seeking medical care at the North West River hospital and nursing stations all along the isolated coast. To keep from feeling homesick, she wrote letters home to her parents.

Patricia’s stirring stories of life in the North—from medical emergencies to camping with bears to forest fires to unattainable love—are captured in authentic letters and fictionalized flashbacks interwoven with her present-day struggle to fight Lewy body dementia, an aggressive disease threatening to strip away her memories entirely.

How does one live an extraordinary life only to forget it?
