Lost and Found A Romance of Desolate Regions
Jim cures skins by nailing them to trees and turning hides into clothing while the group endures a harsh winter. They fashion shoes, garments, and shitta from fur, retain hope through a newborn infant, and record daily trials in a diary no longer having ink or paper. The anniversary of their disaster looms as a storm rages, yet they endure with gratitude for survival and faith in a cruel fate.
