Summary:

"The critically acclaimed story shared the experiences of Gwen Roland and her companion Calvin Voisin, who left civilization in the turmoil of the early 1970s to return to the simple, quiet lifestyle of their great-grandparents in the vast, unspoiled beauty of the nation's largest river swamp, Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin. Without power tools or construction experience, the pair designed and built a floating home, on which they lived a rich life in a remote sleepy bayou for nearly a decade" -- container.
