This was an incredible book. I loved learning about Alaska in the 70’s and 80’s. There was so much depth in the book. Romance, friendship, community, education, adventure, family dynamics, young love, mental health, injustice… the list goes on and on. All of these were perfectly told and woven together. I couldn’t recommend this read enough!
