Kim Heacox is a master of depiction, painting a vivid and awe-inspiring picture of the Alaskan wilderness. The reader is drawn into this glorious landscape, which encircles and interacts with the people of the small town. His characterization is magnificent. There are quite a few people in the novel, and each is a thoroughly developed individual. The secondary characters add supplementary information to complement the main story's background, surroundings, and personalities. These side characters add more than a little humor.
I highly recommend this novel.
