Where I live now It’s an easy and quick drive to the coast, or the Southern Highlands, or the bush.

I’ll have to go for the ability to just decide to go for a long drive somewhere for a change of scenery. So, my first thought was for expedient shipping time for books but then I remembered I live in Australia and unless I want to cough up more than $100 for faster shipping, it always takes a long time for it to arrive, so I’m pretty good with waiting a while. If you were to move to Bangor, Alaska, what luxury would be the hardest for you to live without? It’s a simple truth that turns out to be not so simple after all. It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried-and failed at-years ago. As his undercurrent of disapproval dwindles, it’s replaced by friendship-or perhaps something deeper? But Calla is not in Alaska to stay and Jonah will never leave.

Soon, she finds herself forming an unexpected bond with the burly pilot.

Jonah is probably right, but Calla is determined to prove him wrong. And he’s clearly waiting with one hand on the throttle to fly this city girl back to where she belongs, convinced that she’s too pampered to handle the wild. While she struggles to adjust to this rugged environment, Jonah-the unkempt, obnoxious, and proud Alaskan pilot who helps keep her father’s charter plane company operational-can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. She braves the roaming wildlife, the odd daylight hours, the exorbitant prices, and even the occasional-dear God-outhouse, all for the chance to connect with her father: a man who, despite his many faults, she can’t help but care for. But when Calla learns that Wren’s days may be numbered, she knows that it’s time to make the long trip back to the remote frontier town where she was born. Calla never looked back, and at twenty-six, a busy life in Toronto is all she knows. This guide is intended for book clubs to use, but because I’m not in a book club and as far as I’m aware there are no clubs in my area, I figured I’d do it all by myself and share my thoughts online.Ĭalla Fletcher wasn’t even two when her mother took her and fled the Alaskan wild, unable to handle the isolation of the extreme, rural lifestyle, leaving behind Calla’s father, Wren Fletcher, in the process. So these questions actually come from Book Club Discussion Guide - The Simple Wild on K.A Tuckers Website (find the guide HERE). Today I figured I’d do something new and post sort of book discussion about on one of the books I’ve read recently that I really enjoyed, The Simple Wild by K.A Tucker.
