pickLeni was 13 years old when she moved into the Alaska bush wilderness with her very unprepared parents. She was forced to learn how to survive in the great alone, but especially in living with her father with PTSD from the Vietnam war. This is Lenin‘s story of growing up here. It is horribly sad, beautifully written, but ultimately about how love survives. Read it. It‘s beautiful.
pickI liked the first book in this series enough to buy this one and I think I liked this one more. It takes up where City Under One Roof ends and we get to spend more time with characters, especially Ellie, I liked from the first book; the narrator/voice for Ellie is the best, reminding me a bit of Mags Bennett from Justified.
pickKate Shugak has disappeared from her home. Her family and friends are very concerned as this is not something Kate would do. Alaska State Trooper Jim Chopin is a friend and he is searching for her when he is sent to Bering to work undercover. He unexpectedly finds Kate there. There is Jim‘s undercover job and a huge mystery to solve. This is book ten in the series and a less emotional than number nine. A good story. 4/5⭐️
