HTML: Award-winning Yellowstone photographer and documentary filmmaker Brad Orsted's seven-year search for refuge and redemption in America's greatest wilderness.
When Brad Orsted's fifteen-month-old daughter, Marley, died mysteriously at the home of Brad's mother, he descended into madness. Blaming himself, he plunged into an abyss of grief, guilt, and self-recrimination, fueled by prescription drugs and alcohol. He planned his suicide as his wife, Stacey, searched for a new beginning. She finally found a job in Yellowstone National Park and, with their daughters, Mazzy and Chloe, the pair fled Michigan, looking for refuge and redemption in the 2.2 million acres of glorious American wilderness.
Through the Wilderness begins in Yellowstone, five months after the family's arrival in 2012, when, in an alcoholic haze, Brad stumbled into a field of sage and survived a face-to-face encounter with an adult male grizzly bear. For the first time in almost two years, he realized he wanted to liveâ??he just didn't know how.
Desperate for help, Brad invited himself to a Crow sweat lodge ceremony, where an elder told him it was time to stop grieving. The elder's words started Brad on a journey towards sobriety and inner peace, only possible because of lessons he learned in the wild, his new job as a wildlife photographer and filmmaker, and two orphan grizzly cubs who carried him back home and taught him how to live again.
Brad's ten-year odyssey is about finding the wild inside the human heart. It is a journey of the spiritâ?? a journey to forgiveness and sobriety, to love and life, to memory, and ultimately, to Marley… (altro) |

Through the Wilderness: My Journey of Redemption and Healing in the American Wild by Brad Orsted is a non-fiction book, documenting the struggles the author had after the death of his infant daughter. Mr. Orsted is an award-winning wildlife photographer.
I have to admire the author for pouring his heart out for all to read. Frankly, I don’t think I have it within me. The journey of pain, addiction, as well as the healing power of the magnificent Yellowstone National Park is heart wrenching.
Through the Wilderness by Brad Orsted takes place around a decade, or so. The story is powerful and honest, from his abusive childhood, to his marriage, death, and divorce, we see get a glimpse into what makes him. Stacey, Mr. Orsted’s wife got a job in Yellowstone, and the family were actually living inside the park. This was a lifeline to all of them, from the people they met, to the animals, and the vistas.
I have every reason to believe everything Mr. Orsted wrote. I cannot begin to imagine what it must have been like to live with a grieving man drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Drinking is a big part of this book, much more than his wife and daughters. The sadness just leaps off the pages and I’m glad he managed, with lots of help, to survive his personal hell, and become a contributing member of society.
The descriptions of wildlife, and of course the bears, are amazing. The author finds serenity tracking two orphan bears, drawing parallels to his departed daughter. Mr. Orsted’s journey of healing and redemption is just as fascinating as his wildlife work and descriptions. (
