A woman's passion for wilderness, family, and faith leads her to a land of harsh realities and great fulfillment - a celebrated perspective on the Alaskan experience. "This prose is a vibrant celebration, both sensual and poetic, of the familiar and unobserved nature of simple truths that abound around us. It is compelling and full-bodied, demanding to be savored. A captivating and courageous style of writing one rarely encounters." Douglas H. Hudson Alaskan and the Pacific Northwest Artist "In this collection you can experience "God's Country" through the eyes of an adventurous author who revels in the untamed wilderness of Alaska.
