A successful walrus hunt means Anna and her beloved Kinauquak will soon be joined in marriage. But before they can seal their promise to one another, a tsunami wipes their village from the rugged shore ... everyone except Anna and her little sister, Iya, who are left alone to face the Alaskan wilderness. A stranger, a Civil War veteran with golden hair and blue eyes, wanders the untamed Aleutian Islands. He offers help, but can Anna trust him or his God? And if she doesn't, how will she and Iya survive?

Love & Survival in the North Pacific

I love this story. It's heart-wrenching yet life-affirming; a story of survival amid nature's and man's cruelty. Set in the Aleutian Islands during the 19th century, it tells the story of a young woman and her little sister who watch their entire village wiped out by a tsunami then are rescued by a wandering white trader who helps to see them through the winter.
This one has all the feels. There are close shaves with both nature and unscrupulous people, some genuinely funny moments, a healthy dose of pioneer Christianity and a whole lot of history delivered with an true storyteller's expertise that keep you so engaged in the story that it's only after you're finished that you realize how much you learned about a time and a place that few people know much about.
This one's a keeper.
