“The vivid landscape of rugged Alaska and the looming presence of Denali, the High One, provide fascinating presence. Peterson and Woodhouse fans will enjoy seeing how familiar characters have advanced on their path and will embrace the book’s quiet affirmation of faith, forgiveness, and keeping Christ central to one’s life."--Historical Novel Reviews

“Alaska in 1929 is an unusual setting for a historical novel, which made this one all the more interesting. . . . A strong spiritual thread ran through the story emphasizing the need to make God the focus of our lives, seeking Him more than anything else. This was handled quite well and in a way that didn’t seem forced or preachy.” --Among the Reads
