One of my faverite Alaskan books she discribe everything very good read it 2 times and now on audible she make me to want to be there

Narrator disappoints

Good story, but the narrator had a nasally, whiny voice that did not match the characters at all. It was very distracting.

Wonderful Story ...

definitely well worth the listen despite an abysmal narrator. Looking forward to reading the sequel.
