Black Woods, Blue Sky is a hauntingly beautiful novel that blends magical realism with the stark realities of life in Alaska. It captures both the breathtaking beauty and the unforgiving dangers of the wilderness while telling a deeply emotional story about seeking freedom, growing up with little financial means, and the weight of family struggles. 

Spooky, heartbreaking, and atmospheric—this book lingers long after the final page.
