Minnesota author David Hakensen shares tales from his new biography Her Place in the Woods: The Life of Helen Hoover ( 1910-1984).

Living without electricity or running water, he details the challenges she and her wife faced. Her Place in the Woods captures both Hoover’s awakening to the power and fragility of the natural world and the efforts and talents of an extraordinary woman defining herself as a writer.
