Lincoln : University of Nebraska Press, 2005. 224 p. ; 23 cm. "Longing for a home in big, wild country that would keep them passionate and young, Jonathan Johnson and his wife, Amy, set out to build a log cabin on his family's land in a remote and beautiful corner of Idaho. But what began as a doable dream for the two of them suddenly looks quite different when, on their first morning in the cabin - without electricity, a telephone, running water, or real windows - the couple learn that Amy is pregnant.". "In this intimate chronicle of making a home the hard way, Johnson describes the competing joys and anxieties of preparing for fatherhood in a setting as challenging as it is promising: a paradise of mythic snowfalls and warming wood stoves and elk tracks at the front door, but also a place where vision, and even struggle and compromise, are not always enough. Hannah and the Mountain tells a story of two people exploring the unmapped territories of loss and grief and finding solace and grace in the mountains."--BOOK JACKET.
