A Tender Distance presents fifteen finely-crafted vignettes that explore the perils and joys of raising two fearless boys from toddlerhood to young men. A Tender Distance is a memoir about motherhood and raising children in Alaska, where a vast wilderness shaped the people they would someday become. When Kaylene Johnson and her family moved to the Last Frontier, she was thrilled with the spectacular setting of their new life. But she was also unsettled by the risks she never before had to consider. Moose regularly frequented the school bus stop and bears seasonally sauntered through their yard. Her story begins with the leave-taking of her oldest son, as she considers this new season in all of their lives and reflects on family, faith, and what it means to be a mother. Written with wit, wisdom, and a grateful heart, this is a mother's story about raising her two boys in Alaska where wilderness is just out the back door of their home.Read moreRead lessP.when('DynamicIframe').execute(function(DynamicIframe){var BookDescriptionIframe = null,bookDescEncodedData = "%3Cp%3E%3Cb%3E%3Ci%3EA%20Tender%20Distance%3C%2Fi%3E%20presents%20fifteen%20finely-crafted%20vignettes%20that%20explore%20the%20perils%20and%20joys%20of%20raising%20two%20fearless%20boys%20from%20toddlerhood%20to%20young%20men.%3C%2Fb%3E%20%3C%2Fp%3E%20%3Cp%3E%3Ci%3EA%20Tender%20Distance%3C%2Fi%3E%20is%20a%20memoir%20about%20motherhood%20and%20raising%20children%20in%20Alaska%2C%20where%20a%20vast%20wilderness%20shaped%20the%20people%20they%20would%20someday%20become.%20When%20Kaylene%20Johnson%20and%20her%20family%20moved%20to%20the%20Last%20Frontier%2C%20she%20was%20thrilled%20with%20the%20spectacular%20setting%20of%20their%20new%20life.%20But%20she%20was%20also%20unsettled%20by%20the%20risks%20she%20never%20before%20had%20to%20consider.%20Moose%20regularly%20frequented%20the%20school%20bus%20stop%20and%20bears%20seasonally%20sauntered%20through%20their%20yard.%20Her%20story%20begins%20with%20the%20leave-taking%20of%20her%20oldest%20son%2C%20as%20she%20considers%20this%20new%20season%20in%20all%20of%20their%20lives%20and%20reflects%20on%20family%2C%20faith%2C%20and%20what%20it%20means%20to%20be%20a%20mother.%20Written%20with%20wit%2C%20wisdom%2C%20and%20a%20grateful%20heart%2C%20this%20is%20a%20mother%27s%20story%20about%20raising%20her%20two%20boys%20in%20Alaska%20where%20wilderness%20is%20just%20out%20the%20back%20door%20of%20their%20home.%3C%2Fp.",bookDescriptionAvailableHeight,minBookDescriptionInitialHeight = 112,options = {},iframeId = "bookDesc_iframe";function resizeCallback() {P.guardFatal("bookDescription", function() {// Get the line-height of the iframevar iframe = document.getElementById(iframeId);var iframeDocument = iframe.contentDocument;if (false && iframeDocument && iframeDocument.defaultView) {// Set the height to the number of lines specifiedvar numLines = parseInt(0, 10);// Get the line-height of the iframevar iframeContent = iframeDocument.getElementById("iframeContent");// Compute the line heightvar lineHeight = iframeDocument.defaultView.getComputedStyle(iframeContent, null).getPropertyValue("line-height");// Parse the line heightlineHeight = parseFloat(lineHeight);bookDescriptionAvailableHeight = Math.round(lineHeight * numLines);} else {var bdOffsetTop = document.getElementById("bookDescription_feature_div").offsetTop;var imageBlockOffsetTop = document.getElementById("booksImageBlock_feature_div").offsetTop;var imageBlockHeight = document.getElementById("booksImageBlock_feature_div").offsetHeight;bookDescriptionAvailableHeight = imageBlockOffsetTop + imageBlockHeight -bdOffsetTop - 30;if(bookDescriptionAvailableHeight < minBookDescriptionInitialHeight) {bookDescriptionAvailableHeight = minBookDescriptionInitialHeight;}}var psTotalHeight = document.getElementById("postBodyPS").offsetHeight;if(psTotalHeight > bookDescriptionAvailableHeight + 30){if(document.getElementById("bdSeeLessPrompt").style.display == "none"){document.getElementById("outer_postBodyPS").style.height = bookDescriptionAvailableHeight + 'px';document.getElementById("psPlaceHolder").style.display ="block";document.getElementById("bdSeeAllPrompt").style.display ="block";}else{document.getElementById("outer_postBodyPS").style.height = psTotalHeight + 'px';}}else{document.getElementById("outer_postBodyPS").style.height = psTotalHeight + 'px';document.getElementById("psPlaceHolder").style.display ="none";document.getElementById("bdSeeAllPrompt").style.display ="block";document.getElementById("bdSeeLessPrompt").style.display ="none";document.getElementById("bdExpanderIcon").className = document.getElementById("bdExpanderIcon").className.replace("rotate","");}})();}options.iframeId = iframeId;options.iframeWrapperId = "bookDesc_iframe_wrapper";options.overriddenCSSId = "bookDesc_override_CSS";options.encodedIframeContent = bookDescEncodedData;options.initialResizeCallback = resizeCallback;BookDescriptionIframe = new DynamicIframe(options);P.guardFatal("bookDescription", function() {BookDescriptionIframe.createIframe();}) ();if ((typeof BookDescriptionIframe != 'undefined') && (BookDescriptionIframe instanceof DynamicIframe)) {P.when('jQuery', 'book-description-config').execute(function($, config) {$(window).resize(function() {P.guardFatal("bookDescription", function() {BookDescriptionIframe.resizeIframe(resizeCallback);}) ();});$(window).bind('imageResize', function() {P.guardFatal("bookDescription", function() {BookDescriptionIframe.resizeIframe(resizeCallback);}) ();});// Log interactivity timestampif (!!config.logInteractivity) {if (typeof window.markFeatureInteractive === 'function') {window.markFeatureInteractive('bookDescription');}}});}});
