Tom Crafton and his wife, Kathy,lived in Alaska in 2003 when they decided that the life they had created for his three children with two houses, cars,motorcycles and promising career.

Every year - late summer evenings, when our little part of the world is silent - I rediscover the joy of reading. We have four children - aged 3, 6, 9 and 12 In the summer we can read more about the three youngest of them at night because we are not frantically trying to get them to go to bed. At night recently, my wife and I have been alternately read aloud a chapter a day for the younger three kids from "The Swiss Family Robinson." You remember the story - it is a kind of precursor to the TV show "Lost." A family of four children are shipwrecked on a deserted island and must fend for themselves.
