ghumpherys 's review for:
Mrs. Mike
by Benedict Freedman, Nancy Freedman
I recently heard about this book (written in 1947) when it was compared to "These Is My Words" (which I loved). This story is about a young girl who is sent to Northwestern Canada in 1907 to live with her uncle to help her lung illness. There she meets and marries a Royal Canadian Mountie and goes with him up into the harsh, remote Canadian wilderness. They live among the Indians, endure many trials and hardships, and she gradually grows and becomes a much stronger person. It kind of bothered me how young she was when they married and I felt like their relationship wasn't really developed. I found out after finishing the book that it was based on the life of a real woman, which made me like it a little better. I do think it's the kind of book that will stick with me for a long time.
