Summary: Following her husband Robert Long's book A life on Gorge River (2010), Catherine Stewart gives her point of view. "Many of us have considered leaving the rat race and living a simplier life. When Catherine Stewart met Robert Long (known as 'Beansprout'), an adventurer living at remote Gorge River, on the South Westland coast, she wondered if she, too, could make a life in such an isolated place. Told with honesty and humour, Catherine's insight memoir explains how and why she made Gorge River her home, and raised a family while living off the land and sea. A testament to the rugged West Coast and it's resourceful people, and also to sheer hard work, a wife on Gorge River paints a vivid picture of Catherine's life on Gorge River and beyond"-- Back cover.
