The perfect blend of love story, crime thriller, and unique Alaska setting with cultural insights never before seen in a story like this. In 1963, a young Minnesota wife arrives, exhausted, at the long tunnel leading to Whittier, Alaska, one of the strangest towns in America. She's driven the Alaska Highway alone, fleeing from her husband after witnessing him commit a murder. While earthquake-scarred Whittier is the perfect haven due to its geographic isolation, not everyone is as they seem and most harbor secrets of their own. In Whittier, her Yup'ik protector and newly found love interest introduces her to his culture and the resulting prejudice they face.
