Publisher's summary

Driven by desperation, Grace Hawkins must forsake the affluent comfort of her upbringing to save herself from an arranged marriage. Disillusioned by her father's insistence, she forges a daring plan to escape the sinister hand of her intended. Peter Colton sees the Alaskan gold rush as an opportunity to establish his family's fledgling shipping business. An unexpected partnership enables him to pursue those dreams and opens the door to an acquaintance with Grace, who has purchased passage north. Drawn together by need and circumstance, Grace and Peter form a faltering friendship. But when her deserted fiancee continues to manipulate her loved ones, can she find peace in the wake of his wrath?

Excellent Story!

If you could sum up Treasures of the North in three words, what would they be?

Great ! Great! Great!

Which character – as performed by Laural Merlington – was your favorite?

Laural is by far the most outstanding narrator ever! She has a different voice for every character! Each one is completely different so that you know who is speaking.
accolades to Laural!!!

Any additional comments?

Tracie Peterson is one of my favorite authors, every book keeps me glued to the story. The problem is I can't put it down, she keeps me wanting more. Every book she writes does the same!

Excellent character development

Her characters were well developed and it helped the reader identify with them! The bad guy was bad, but it was clear that God was stronger. It was inspiring and adventurous. Totally recommend.

God’s plan is always a work in progress. I can trust Him in every situation!

Love the book. Tracie Peterson’s books never fail to cause me to look inside and myself to see things & thoughts I have that distract me from my relationship with God. She is anointed writer. Her stories are all make it difficult to stop listening & get about my day!! :)

North treasures of the North book I could’ve gone without it

This story was rough. How can a man have such hatred and throughout the book be existent I did not like the book I did not even finish reading it. I went to the last chapter of the reading on, and on recording this Paxton is an evil man, I wish you would write some books Nicer than that one this man this character could not stand throughout the book. Something should’ve happened to him very bad too. I hope so.

Wonderfully told story of brave but hurting people

One of my favorite Tracie Peterson’s novels. The characters are so flawed and real but determined to seek God’s direction in their broken lives. The need for godly community even in a lonely place is so apparent and well done.

Treasures of the North

This was quite different from the last series I had read. After adjusting to the new setting of the North, I settled in to hope that things would be all right.
