Babe in the Woods
AT AGE EIGHTEEN, IN 1974, Yvonne Pepin set out to build a home from trees on eighty acres she bought on an Oregon mountainside. Log by log the following year she created a cabin and healed from her orphaned past, finding a new family in the forest and with people in a valley named John Day. This true story of one woman's survival in the wilderness puts an honest and gritty face on the fantasy of living alone in the forest. Readers of My Side of the Mountain and Into the Wild-and fans of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Walden alike-will eagerly follow along on Yvonne's journey in this candid, revealing account. Babe in the Woods: Building a Life One Log at a Time includes Yvonne's original artwork and ledgers, further authenticating the construction of her three-story log cabin, built by hand from trees on land Yvonne still owns today. It is the first in a three-book series about Yvonne's time living in this log cabin beside a mountain stream-and it is a story of her relationship with woodsy things in a place of risk and isolation but also peace, quiet beauty, and repose.
Babe in the Woods
At age eighteen in 1974, Yvonne Pepin set out to build a home from trees on eighty acres she bought on an Oregon mountainside. Almost five decades later, the cabin and Yvonne have weathered the years, and both continue to stand seasoned and proud. Babe in the Wood: Path of Totality is the third in a three-book series about her life in this wilderness cabin. Between making and marketing art and piecing together a living as a freelance writer and arts educator, Yvonne spends weeks and months alone at the log cabin. She leaves behind overpopulated landscapes branching out of glass, metal, and electricity. Here time is measured by the juniper's lengthening shadows, the ever-rushing creek, the changing seasons, and finding the prize of one's self between the spaces.
Suitcase Filled with Nails
A spirited artist with a can-do attitude, Yvonne Wakefield leaves behind a secure life in the lush Pacific Northwest to teach art in the desert state of Kuwait. Over the course of six years, she will instruct university-aged Muslim women, earn her students' trust, and learn the consequences of freedom of expression, taken for granted in one culture but not granted in another. Despite obstacles set by her detractors, she persists, and her students and life in Kuwait flourish. Yet the traps never disappear, only multiply, as others set more for her, intent on denying what they have no desire to understand. Told from the unique perspective of an artist, Suitcase Filled with Nails is a colorful, true, timely, rare, and riveting tale about living and coping in the Middle East.

Babe in the Woods
At age eighteen, Yvonne set out to build a home from trees on eighty acres she bought on an Oregon mountainside. In 1975, log by log she creates a cabin and heals from an orphaned past, finding a new family in the forest, and with people in a valley named John Day. Babe in the Woods: Self Portrait is the second in a three-book series. It chronicles a span in Yvonne's four decades long relationship with her log cabin and the people she meets in the valley. The book continues Yvonne's story of learning to live in the wilderness within and outside of herself. It is also a story of rogue bears, building a bear-proof log studio, a young artist's development, and the trials and triumph of finding oneself, alone in the back woods.
