Lizzie has been excommunicated from her tribe in Alaska. Now that her mother is dead, she is determined to fulfill her mother's last wish to make peace with her grandmother and then go find her father in San Francisco.
Clay and his stepsister, Vivian, have come to Alaska to bring God's Word to the people. While he is intrigued by Lizzie, visiting with her could jeopardize everything he is attempting to accomplish in the village. Standing up for himself and the woman he is coming to care about is going to test both of them.
Vivian is fighting her own demons. Her mother and stepfather doubt her ability to help her brother. They think that she's too fragile and at times she can tell Clay feels the same way. Determined to prove herself and pay for her past "sins," she befriends Lizzie where the two learn from each other.
This was a good read. I was mildly disappointed with the end where too much time had passed with events that I felt warranted explanation. The acceptance by the grandmother of Lizzie and Clay could have used some depth and I just didn't understand Vivian's short explanation of what had happened to her. Ideally, I believe it could have been another book, but overall this was an entertaining read. Good Book!
