Edge Of The Wilderness: Growing up in the North: Lee Updike grew up in northern Saskatchewan in the 1930's and 1940's on a farm at the edge of the wilderness. The stories of his childhood in this remote place are filled with a message of self-sufficiency and independence, set against a greater backdrop of faith, hope, and promise.

Farming in the northern bush was always difficult and often unprofitable, and Updike's young life was filled with hard work and heavy responsibilities. Lee's only chance to make his mark on the world was to fight his way out, as he stepped form the secluded north country into another wilderness, a boxing ring in Winnipeg. But the values and life lessons learned form family and friends, both human and animal, supported him through every peril and challenge.
