This is a very enjoyable book of non-fiction stories about characters, places, scenes and events. The author has a perceptive understanding of people and cultures and I really enjoyed the insights and descriptive writing that shines in this book.
What a great travel book combined with wonderful insights and meaningful observations. Easy to read and hard to put down, I could see Mount Susitna in my mind's eye as I turned the pages - the author's description of the legend of this mountain, the 'Sleeping Lady', touched me deeply. A very enjoyable collection of human interest, true life stories.
"A great book about America!" The author's insightful narratives about life in America is truly worth reading! I really enjoyed this book and especially the way it was written in an easy to read and personable style. Charmiene Maxwell-Batten has blended real life stories with amusing, heartful, poignant human interest commentaries. I really enjoyed the chapters about Alaska - and through Charmiene's writing, I could feel the sense of exhilaration and beauty that this Nordic region radiates.
