In the beginning you can feel something is wrong. When you keep on, it gets deeper and deeper and you feel like it will never stop, until it does. Hope is the word this book is made of.

I think this is a fantastic premise- homesteading, adventure, the frontier…but it read a bit soap opera at times. I did gobble it up in one day though and was hit hard in the feels at the end.

Truly excellent. Gorgeous and vivid descriptions of Alaska. Characters are put though challenge after challenge. There are parts where the tension is so thick you’re totally stressed out by their choices. Leads to a compelling story I stayed up past 2am to finish and it stuck with me after I finished.

An incredible coming of age story from the point of view of a girl who moves to Alaska with her family. Please note the content warnings.
