A Seattle woman, unhappy with her marriage and depressed from the death of her child two years prior, takes off on a whim to Alaska to visit where her Mother grew up. She meets someone there, deals with her past demons and becomes involved with the local folklore of the indigenous to look for closure for the death of her son. Not nearly as good as Stein’s previous novel, actually this was an old novel recently republished, but an interesting story nonetheless.
