I think this a great book for the challenge. I read it a couple of years ago with this group. I think it gives insight to a part of the country we do not know a lot about. It was a good story!

I do have a lot of what my sister calls “small world” stories so I know these things do happen. Definitely lots of unspoken secrets/experiences. Maybe some of those were part of the coincidences–so not exactly coincidences, but not explained as more than coincidences. Definitely a slightly different way to look at it.

I didn’t mind the coincidences, but then I’m someone who believes the six degrees of separation theory (and I’m still waiting to see how I am tied to Kevin Bacon!). There seemed to be a lot of unspoken secrets and experiences with the adults, especially in a small community.

I loved this book. It shows a whole other part of the country that I haven’t experienced. I also loved the idea that family isn’t necessarily blood ties, but who you choose.

Too many coincidences?

I enjoyed this sweet story. I enjoyed the bits and pieces of Alaska and the things I learned about indigenous culture. But I felt there were an awful lot of coincidences to pull the story all together. Did that stand out to you?

I enjoyed this sweet story. I thought the setting/cultural pieces felt like another character in the story.
