Featured on LitHub. An extraordinary memoir of a woman’s unconventional childhood growing up in the Alaskan wilderness, on the grounds where the burned remains of a cannery once stood. In the 1980s the Neilson family moved out on a floathouse to the remote site of a former cannery in Southeast Alaska that had burned to the ground before statehood. They were miles away from any neighbors, surrounded on all sides by wolves, bears and other wildlife, entering the world of subsistence living in an uninviting land of dangerous weather and storms; yet the Neilsons were able to make themselves a home where few others would have found possible. Led by a jack-of-all-trades handyman for a father and a mother who was afraid of everything in the wilderness, Tara and her four siblings cleared the rough terrain to build atop the blackened, rusty ruins a new way of life that was completely their own. From a young age, Tara learned that anything was possible, so long as one can imagine it and then make it happen. When given her mother’s impractical design of a six-bedroom house, her father picked up his tools and crafted it into a reality. To reach the closest community, they built a wooden boat sixteen feet long for the perilous journey on the water. The Alaska wilds required independence and self-sufficiency from the family, and in return it provided a natural landscape that inspired romantic passion and unlimited dreams. With endless forest on one side and the wide ocean on the other, Tara embraced the lonesomeness of the burned cannery ruins that she called home, and often wondered what it once was with its people inside, their stories, where they went, and what happened to them. Beautifully poignant and completely original, Raised in Ruins escapes into the wilderness to discover a piece of Alaskan history wrapped in an incredible family adventure fueled by love, strength, hard work, endurance, and boundless imagination.

This entire memoir was so poignant and powerful for me to read. I took a lot of time reading it as I didn't want to miss any of the adventures (or misadventures) the author and her family had during this period of time. It was poignant and powerful at the same time.The author portrays Alaska in a way that I have never read before. Part of my pleasure in reading this, I believe, was derived from the fact I have always wanted to travel there...Well, perhaps, not to this exact location in remote Southeast Alaska, but to see the flora and the fauna that is so expertly described.The following paragraph may be perceived as spoilers...so ignore if you wish.. I believe these parts of the memoir contribute greatly to the author's story...Just imagine five children in this remote location with their Mom being the sole caretaker during the week. Their Dad was away working and would return home for the weekends...most of the time. He is a veteran of Viet Nam. and as one may imagine, suffers from Post Traumatic Stress. A workaholic by nature, he provides for his family and is to be commended for his battle against this unseen disease. Mom, suffers from depression and at times is drawn into her comfort zone.The reader will be transposed by a collection of anecdotes which cover a myriad of subjects. Schooling, the ever present danger of powerful storms, the quietness of being surrounded by the forest...And, then the harshness of the exact same forces... Bears and wolves to name a couple....The sounds of nature signify impending danger at its fullest. Mom's bear drill comes to mind as I write this..Each of the five children have different personalities and the author has delved deeply into each one of them.. I could only imagine the gleeful anticipation of the school supplies arriving in the boxes...What a treat for all of them.As I was reading, I kept thinking about the skill sets that are needed to survive in such a hostile environment. Unfathomable to try and list all as your life depends on so many of them.. The basic needs of life are dependent on so many factors. Even basic first aid becomes a problem if one is not prepared. The hierarchy of needs comes to mind...Just an outstanding memoir and loved it in its entirety. Anxiously awaiting the next book this author writes.And, please thank your Dad for his service to our country during Viet Nam..Most highly recommended. A truly fascinating read for me...
