And soon he received an inheritance — a small piece of land where there are almost no people, where there is only beautiful, albeit harsh nature — in Alaska. And soon Leni and her parents go to this mysterious and unknown world. At first, it seems to them that Alaska is living up to all their hopes and expectations. In this wild land, they find a community of strong men and even stronger women. And what started out as an adventure turns into a drama. Leni and her mother have to learn that Alaska is not only beautiful, but also terrible, that she can both save and destroy. In this land, every day puts a person in front of a choice between life and death.

Kirkus Review
“I didn’t just fall in love with this book, I am obsessed with it. Christine Hannah has written a masterful novel about how love can both save us and destroy us. «
Sunday Times
“A compelling portrait of a family on the brink of destruction and a society on the eve of tremendous change. Only the mountains and forests of Alaska are unchanged in their unapproachable beauty. A magnificent novel about the unbreakable bond between mother and child, about the greatness of a woman who is literally ready to move mountains for the sake of her beloved. «
