3.0

This coming-of-age and retelling of the Russian fairytale "Daughter of the Snow" set in Alaska in the 1920s blurs the line between reality and fantasy with some magical realism.  It is enchanting, heart warming & gut wrenching. It encompasses themes such as starting over to heal, the struggle to survive, loss, grief, and hope.
