Lenora Allbright has the misfortune to be born to a father who is a Vietnam era ex-POW with a drinking problem and who abuses Leni's mother, Cora. Dad has a tough time holding on to a job, so when the opportunity comes up to resettle in Alaska, the family immediately moves. The book takes the reader on a journey of settlement and discovery, where neighbors help out neighbors and Alaska presents both breathtaking beauty and horrendous, dangerous physical challenges. All the while, the family relationships for the Allbrights as well as some of their friends, are subjected to stresses they may not be able to survive. This reader found the book thrilling and engrossing.
