Repp presents the uncertainty of a couple dropped in Alaska to help another missionary. When they arrive, with winter approaching, and news that the other missionary can't help them, they experience the calm assurance that God put them there, but they must find how to help the people, while learning their language and culture and survival skills, as well as convincing their mission board to allow them to stay.

I am excited about this book. I was concerned that it would be dry, but Gloria Repp develops the characters and conflict so well that I was disappointed to finish the book. Hurray for well-written Christian fiction!
