Eleanor Deckert
Newly-wed Eleanor had a plan for her life: 'I want to get married,go out west,build a log cabin,raise a bunch of kids,teach them about the Lord, volunteer in my community, and thenwrite a book about it!'As her dreams became a reality over the next 40 years, she and her husband, Kevin, lived the Back-to-the-Land lifestyle, overcame limitations, built an improved house, grew much of their own food, homeschooled their four children and volunteered in an ever-widening community.Eleanor became a freelance writer and developed seminars.Next on her to-do list: Write her memoir.Cancer arrived when she had other plans.The detour took her deep into a labyrinth of questions, research, consultations and agonizing soul-searching.From Mother Nature to Hi-Tech...From organic gardening to radiation treatment...From a log cabin in the Canadian mountains to a dormitory in a distant city... Eleanor’s Life Path certainly took a detour.
