Barbara Baker is a Canadian author who writes realistic, fast paced wilderness adventure novels set in Banff National Park. Her books bring readers into the heart of her homeland, the mountains of Banff, where her characters must navigate their way through new surroundings as well as manage the turmoil life has in store for them. Readers are sent on a roller coaster of emotions from laughter to tears through many misadventures.
