This was a wonderful book. I was surprised by how much I loved it even more as it went on. Emotional, being in a new place, dealing with grief, the hope of magic and a new life. Overall it's wonderful. I don't have a great reason to not give it 5 stars, maybe because I don't want to shout it from the mountains that it should be required reading for everyone, but I really don't have any criticisms. It turns out to be quite a beautiful story in the end. The author does a wonderful job describing the Alaskan wilderness and the beauty of nature. You hope and wish for all these characters' happiness and peace. Magical and mysterious and overall a wonderful lovely joy.

This has to be one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. I felt my own personal grief understood in these pages.

This book will truly stay with me. Beautiful, sweet, sad and haunting. Very much about love, which this book captured perfectly. The only thing keeping it from being a five is that I feel one element lacks clarity in a way that hurt the story just a little bit. Still, a beautiful read.
