Jack and mabel are a couple who married late(r) in life than typical for the 1920's, suffered a miscarriage, and move to alaska to try their hand at homesteading, as a way of isolating themselves from the constant reminder of their loss, their friends and families with their healthy children, and the sorrow hanging over them. I suppose i can give you some brief descriptions, for those of you who strangely don't see the cover and instantly think "must. like page 42-early.i misted, but nothing tumbled out.that is a big deal for me, and from that point on, i was hooked. I will tell you that i VERY NEARLY CRIED early on. this book was such a beautiful journey, and taking place as it does over a number of years, there are naturally high and low points, emotionally.īut i'm not going to tell you how it ends up.
