Her Place in the Woods: The Life of Helen Hoover

Minnesota author David Hakensen shares tales from his new biography Her Place in the Woods: The Life of Helen Hoover ( 1910-1984). This book is the first complete biography of Helen Hoover (1910–1984), sharing stories about her life on northern Minnesota's Gunflint Lake. Living without electricity or running water, he details the challenges she and her wife faced. Her Place in the Woods captures both Hoover’s awakening to the power and fragility of the natural world and the efforts and talents of an extraordinary woman defining herself as a writer.
