A summer of testing limits in the BC tundra

Set in late summer 1974, the novel places newly graduated Dana Fraser in the unfamiliar landscape of the BC tundra, where wilderness hazards and camp life challenge her confidence. Her fear of horses and the dangers around her—including muskeg and encounters with wildlife—sit alongside pressures rooted in family, including the voice of her alcoholic father. The camp’s relationships, from her unpredictable boss to an Indigenous couple on a healing journey, broaden the story beyond Dana’s struggle with nature. The description also signals difficult subject matter, including alcohol abuse, lies, and murder, within a narrative about facing the unknown and questioning one’s sense of worth.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in wilderness-set fiction in British Columbia.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about self-doubt, personal limits, and family influence.
  • Readers comfortable with fiction that includes alcohol abuse, lies, and murder.

Book overview

Newly graduated from university, Dana Fraser is looking for adventure. A city girl with a fear of horses, Dana faces challenges both within her heart and courtesy of mother nature. The Hunt on the Tundra follows Dana in the late summer of 1974 as she strives to prove to herself that she can push the limits of what she knows and forge through the unknown that the BC tundra brings: a night alone in the wilderness, quicksand-like muskeg, bears and wolves, alcohol abuse, lies and even murder.
In camp, she encounters relationships unlike any she's seen in the city - from her unpredictable but attractive boss, Jimmy, to the calm indigenous couple who share their journey of healing.
On top of battling the unknown in nature that surrounds her, she battles her father's voice in her head that tells her she's just not good enough. Will the voice of her alcoholic father fade, or will she leave the tundra with more scars than she had when she arrived?
