Discussion:
Julie- Absolutely loved it! I just love this author. The way she writes, I feel like I’m there. I liked the time period too. Would recommend. 4.5/5
Meriah- Loved it! Finished too early, couldn’t put it down. Great descriptions. Would recommend. 4.7/5
Jocelyn- Overall I enjoyed the book. Loved the descriptions of Alaska and the rugged lifestyle. Such a great time period. I did find it way too predictable. Would recommend. 3.5/5
Ali- Liked the book overall. The end scenes went way too fast. Once Ernt went down it became too predictable. Just didn’t like the end. Already have recommended. 4/5
Maren- I read it got bad reviews so I was hoping I didn’t hate it. I really really liked it! I did feel like- Come on Cora. I just don’t understand why women can’t leave. Would recommend. 4.5/5

Julie- Large Marge and Tom Walker
Meriah- Lanora, Large Marge, Cora and Tom Walker
Jocelyn- Large Marge
Ali- Large Marge and Tony
Maren- Large Marge and Cora
Leni stood beside her, imagining the sight of her dad’s pale, stiff body being dragged down into the dark. The thing he hated most. “Survivors,” Leni said. The irony was not lost on her. It was what her dad had wanted them to be. Survivors.
“You know what they say about finding a man in Alaska- the odds are good, but the goods are odd.”
