Plot

"Anna had never been so happy. She and her beloved Kinauquak would soon be joined together as man and wife, and the Aleut village would celebrate with a feast. But on the day of the joining, Anna's happy life is swept away by a tidal wave, and she and her younger sister, Iya, are the only survivors. But they are not alone. A stranger, a white man with a golden beard and blues eyes, has seen the tragedy and offers to help them. Though Anna does not want anything to do with this intruder, she soon realizes that they cannot survive the winter without him. For Anna, it is the start of a long journey to find a home for herself and her sister. For Erik, the lonely Civil War veteran, it is a pilgrimage into God's unexpected blessings. And over many moons, they must find the strength and courage they need to survive in the untamed Alaskan wilderness."--Back cover.
