Alaska is a cold place to live until love blossoms.
Elizabeth Robinson travels by dog sled to help her family mind the store in Fairbanks, Alaska. She wants to pursue her drawing and painting, but women artists are rare in 1906, and flood, fire, and a death in the family force her to take charge at home at age seventeen. James Garrett comes north to help his uncle at a nearby gold claim. An awkward eighteen-year-old who is more at home with machines than people, he becomes a man as he falls in love with Elizabeth. When a discovery about her benefactor, the founder of the town, threatens their future, Elizabeth and James find that together they can overcome any obstacle.

An Alaskan tale to brighten your winter reading! This coming of age story is delightful and really evokes a feeling of Alaska and its challenges for a young couple in the early 1900's. There is struggle and heartache, adventure and the physical spectacle of Alaska's landscape as a wonderful backdrop for this engaging YA story. Enjoy!!
