Synopsis

Marty Ohlhaut loved the great outdoors, and he loved his family, but this time, the combination proved disastrous.

Cooped up inside due to long work hours, Marty was excited about taking off with his wife and five children for the beautiful Canadian Rockies. Aware that this could be their last camping trip together, he wanted to make it extra memorable.

Little did he know how memorable it would be. From a massive heat wave and tainted water to encounters with aggressive red ants and formidable bears, they experienced one problem after another. Then tragedy struck, forcing Marty to face the terrifying possibility of losing a loved one. With the help of mysterious strangers in one of the world's most awe-inspiring locations, he fought to keep his family alive and his sanity intact.

Now, three decades later, he joins forces with his daughter Grace Ly to recount the gripping tale of that ill-fated vacation. Written with candor and wit reminiscent of Bill Bryson, Tent for Seven vividly captures both the grandeur and the dangers of the wilderness as Marty learns just how much his wife and children mean to him—and how fragile life can be.

Absolutely delightful! A fascinating and at times disastrous family holiday, mixed with a few memories of a holiday the author took with five other guys when he was a teen. You come away from this story with a strong belief in guardian angels. Some parts were pretty funny, too, like them transporting......more

LOVED this book! Sat down to read a chapter or two, and ended up reading half the book in one sitting - finished the book the next day. This is a really unique story, told from a witty and humorous perspective, about the adventures of a entertaining family. Definitely recommend.......more

Goodreads review by Marcus on May 18, 2023

Great fun, I was completely drawn into the story and couldn't stop reading. Every time something dramatic had happened and the situation started to lighten up, another disturbing event waited just around the corner. You wouldn't believe that a single family could go through all of this - and we lear......more
