The author takes on the tremendous task of providing an intimate account of the lives of lumberjacks, a nomadic community tragically vulnerable to the perils of isolation and felled forests, whose devastating effects on their livelihoods and very souls is laid bare throughout the evocative and compelling chapters of this book. The author's focus on the arrival of Frank Higgins, a Presbyterian missionary who selflessly dedicated his life to uplifting these forsaken individuals, gives rise to a hopeful counterpoint to the grim realities of the lumberjack existence that alone would define this book. Instead, the pages that follow tell of a man who saw their despair and instead of condemning their sins, offered them the balm of compassion. Deeply immersed in the day-to-day lives of these men, the author does not shy away from the exploitative and lawless nature of the towns that spring up around these remote outposts, but instead paints a vivid depiction of a community of damaged people, exploited by those who offer them temporary solace and vice at every turn. At the heart of this book is the urgent message of how communities on the fringes of society can be both destroyed and redeemed by the actions of a single individual. An essential read for those who seek to better understand the human condition, this book offers a depth of empathy and a nuanced perspective on the nature of redemption and moral hazard that will stay with the reader long after the final page is turned.
