Loon Lake

Set against the rugged backdrop of Alaska in the late 1950s and 1960s, this memoir tells the story of growing up dirt poor on a remote homestead. With hardworking parents and a father battling alcoholism, Terry Shoebotham's childhood was marked by resilience, faith, and the search for meaning in a family that, for the most part, did not know God. Through honest reflection and vivid storytelling, Terry invites readers into a world shaped by hardship, hope, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
