Synopsis

The bleak wilderness of America's 49th state challenges three women in different eras: Julie, a nurse, who must serve victims of a 1925 diphtheria epidemic; Beth, whose Canadian-born husband is killed in World War II; and Rita, who takes on the ultimate test of endurance, the Iditarod dog sled race. Each must surmount the obstacles of her life, and perhaps, with God's help, find true love as well. As a special bonus, 'Alaska' also includes Tracie Peterson's novella 'Christmas Dream.'

About this title

From Library Journal:

Julie Erikson has had one goal in life: to become a nurse and provide medical care to the people of Alaska. To pursue that aim, she left her family to study in Seattle for five years. Returning home to Alaska in October 1925, Julie meets handsome Sam Curtiss. A devout Christian, Julie believes marriage would end her nursing career, so she refuses to encourage Sam's interest in her. Does true love conquer all? It wouldn't be a romance novel if it didn't. There is nothing challenging in Jamison's (Iditarod Dream, Heartsong Presents, 1994) tale, but that just may make it the perfect book for some readers. Recommended for public libraries.
