In The Sun is a Compass, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert embarks on a transformative 4,000-mile journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic, seeking to reconnect with her passion for birds and the wilderness. Fueled by adventure and a sense of purpose, she and her husband traverse diverse landscapes—by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe—confronting both challenges and moments of beauty in nature. Blending science with personal narrative, this inspiring tale celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the profound bond shared with the natural world, earning accolades such as the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel award.
