LOST AND FOUND IN ALASKA: A TRUE STORY OF SURVIVAL AND MIRACLES ON KODIAK ISLAND...AND ELSEWHERE by Bruce LaChance

Growing up loving to hunt, Bruce LaChance decided to seek his greatest adventure yet: to hunt a giant brown bear on his own. What followed was a tale not only of adventure but of tragedy and redemption through faith.

On leave from his US Navy base on Kodiak Island, twenty-year-old LaChance set out in late September 1964 for the extreme danger of the Alaskan wilderness. He struggled alone for nearly two weeks, during which he lost thirty pounds and an inch in height. Along the way, he never lost faith in himself, however. Later in life, he would again find himself lost but in a different kind of wilderness, though one every bit as deadly--that of alcoholism. Only through belief in a Higher Power was he able to survive both wildernesses, and in so doing, find contentment, faith, and true love.

Lost and Found in Alaska: A True Story of Survival and Miracles on Kodiak Island...and Elsewhere will help every reader become aware of his or her Higher Power. That Power resides within them, and always has, and if they are willing to surrender to it, they can find serenity.

Now seventy-seven years old, Bruce LaChance spends his time in Florida golfing and working as a handy man. Clean and Sober since 1994, he remains forever grateful to the HELP program and Fellowship, as well as family and friends, for his ability to live, love and enjoy his life one day at a time.
