In addition to all this, a pure romance blooms that nearly breaks your heart. It has all the elements to keep the reader hooked: adventure, living with hardship through a frigid Alaska winter, dogsled races, a student who perseveres despite a reading handicap, the heroic teacher who loves her students and despite all, bravely stands up to a community with a rigid backwards way of thinking (racism.) Anne does what she knows is the right thing despite the personal cost of disapproval by the locals in power. I re-read this book every few years and never grow tired of it. ![]() One of my top shelf favorite books of all time and a true story which takes place in Alaska in the late 1920's!
