Synopsis

A young woman leaves a comfortable life Outside to take a post at a remote reservation school. Days of work, illness, and scarce supplies test resolve as the valley reveals a community pulled between tradition and change. Letters and a rough map suggest her late father left an unproven claim in the Chakitana, drawing her onto trails of dredges, dog teams, and sudden storms. A hard-driving engineer arrives to unite scattered holdings and bring in heavy machinery, setting old sourdoughs, cannery hands, and agitators on edge.

An uneasy truce turns to threat on river, rail, and snow, forcing choices about loyalty, truth, and the future of the North. As winter closes, she must protect her students, face the claim’s risks, and decide whether the promise she carries belongs to the past—or to a new life she did not expect. Along the Inside Passage and across the Matanuska and Tanana, the country itself becomes rival and ally, beautiful, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.
