Murie, author, environmentalist \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is the odd, funny, true story of a city couple who find themselves trying to fit into an isolated village, accessible only by foot or boat. Stehekin is a classic tale of resistance to the encroachment of modern culture, finding simplicity in life with less, and what it means to both live independent of mass culture and, yet, be dependent on the group you find yourself with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMcConnell, Grant:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eGrant McConnell\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Portland, Oregon.
