After revising Prescription for Adventure: Bush Pilot Doctor, Naomi took time out to do marketing and promotion. She is now resuming writing on the third book in the Prescription for Adventure series: Prescription for the Bush Doctor's Wife.

Readers have expressed curiosity about the years in Tanana, 1957-1959. This era was introduced in both previous books, but without in-depth details of daily life in the Interior Alaska Athabascan village, which edged up to the Yukon River, and which transportation in and out consisted of only boat or airplane in the summers, and dogsleds and airplanes — weather permitting — in the winters.

In the village of between 250 and 300 people, social life, purchases, and entertainment were limited to a Northern Commercial Company general store, three churches, community hall, Day School for grades one to eight, and whatever the FAA support staff, White Alice employees, hospital personnel, school teachers, or villagers themselves could provide or devise.

Doc's life was consumed with his Medical Officer in Charge (MOC) responsibilities for the Public Health Services hospital in Tanana, as well as all the villages in a region the size of his home state of Kansas. Not that he missed any opportunities to seek out flying and hunting adventures! His stories have been told in Prescription for Adventure: Bush Pilot Doctor.

The entire Gaede family was introduced in Prescription for Finding Home in Alaska and Naomi's experiences described. But, what about Ruby? The wife of the energetic, seldom-home bush doctor?

Ruby's days were a mish-mash of keeping track of four children, preventing one toddler from falling into the swift-flowing Yukon River; ordering a year's worth of canned and boxes food supplies to be brought in by river barge, before the river froze; befriending the Native women and learning from them their skills of beadwork, skin-sewing, and salmon-smoking; brainstorming sanity-preserver-fun of a Hobo Halloween party, hot dog picnics at 30 below zero, and a Sewing Circle — where she served up dainty treats of cream puffs or tiny sandwiches. She shot a moose and dressed it out. She baked twice a week, including hot dog and hamburger buns. On summer Sundays, she walked in high heels down the dusty Front Street to the chapel. This Kansas-born farm girl, accustomed to blazing sun, rolling wheat fields, and fresh produce, thrived.
