About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

Tutjat (Stepping Stones) is the Inuit name for the islands in Hudson Strait north of Labrador. Legend tells how Inuit once followed these stepping stones and discovered people living on Baffin Island. In 1981 Nigel Foster kayaked this route south, crossing the forty miles wide Hudson Strait solo. Trapped by fall storms he cut short his trip and hitchhiked south aboard an oil tanker.

In 2004 he returned with Kristin Nelson to finish the trip. Starting at Kuujjuaq, Ungava Bay, they crammed food for five weeks into two sea kayaks and began their 675-mile wilderness journey after the pack-ice cleared in July.

Dodging polar bears the couple negotiated the phenomenal tides of Ungava Bay and the squalls of Labrador’s mountains. Traveling to the boom of calving icebergs and the call of loons in the fog, and camping at night beneath the snaking curtains of the aurora borealis, they gained a unique perspective on the world’s vanishing wilderness.

Deftly constructed at 279 pages, Stepping Stones: of Ungava and Labrador is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Sports & Recreation / Water Sports category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Stepping Stones meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $19.95 and $29.95, respectively.

Additionally, Stepping Stones can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
