My Place Among Men

Misadventures in the Wild

By: Kris Millgate

Narrated by: Kris Millgate

In My Place Among Men, outdoor journalist Kris Millgate explores not only the wildest backcountry of America but her own experiences growing up poor and Mormon in Utah—and, ultimately, what it took to create a different life for herself. Her memoir is a powerful tapestry of adventure, personal growth, and identity. In the lineage of Cheryl Strayed, Millgate may look to nature to find her place, but she's just as relentless as the wild itself.

Kris Millgate graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in broadcast journalism in 1997. She worked for several TV news networks before founding Tight Line Media in 2006. Millgate is a leading member of Outdoor Writers Association of America, a life member of Trout Unlimited, an Idaho Master Naturalist and an elementary school volunteer. She is an avid fly fisher, ultra trail runner and youth hockey coach. Millgate currently reports for USA Today, Gray’s Sporting Journal, Idaho Public Television, and East Idaho Outdoors magazine. My Place Among Men is her first book.

Inspiring, motivational, heartwarming.

I absolutely loved this book. Whether you are a woman among men, a man among woman, someone who works outside, or spends their day at a desk, a person who climbs the corporate ladder, or spends their days at home singing lullabies, Kris's story of facing her fears and going against the grain to make her dreams come true is an inspirational story that everyone should read!
