Peterson does a fabulous job in researching historical facts, native customs, and the hardships of how life was lived in 1915 on the Alaskan frontier. The entrance into their lives of a mysterious young woman, Helaina Beecham, who seemed determined to insert herself into Jayces' life might very well put a hold on any dreams Leah might have for the future. When an accident postponed their departure, Leah had time to see that Jayce was indeed a changed man, and as Leah prayed for Jayce's recovery, she hoped that perhaps the future she'd once dreamed of having with him would become a reality. Not only would Jayce reignite the flames of a long ago passion, leaving Leah with unresolved feelings, but her brother Jacob was seriously considering joining up with Jayce on an arctic expedition. Not only was Jayce a painful reminder of her unmarried state as she turned 30, but she'd never gotten over him or his rejection of her love. He brought his friend Jayce Kincaid - a man that Leah had loved 10 years before and who had broken her heart. On a trip to gather supplies for their trading post, Jacob took longer than usual and brought back more than supplies. In spite of the hard life that territory makes a body endure, they had come to love the land and it's native people. Alaskan Quest - Book 1 - Leah Barringer and her brother Jacob have lived awhile in the Alaskan wilderness.
