This is an all time classic book. It tells about the adventures of a young woman who had to move north for health reasons then fell in love with a Mountie. Wonderful true story, wholesome. Even my teenage boys loved it!

I read this as a teenager. It is a touching story of a young woman leaving family behind to start a new life with her husband in the far north. Not only is there a little adventure and a little romance, it is filled with wonderful insight into the people and way of llife of the region. And, of course, there is a moral to the story about priorities and love.
I recommend it to all the teenage girls I know. Just haven't gotten one to read it yet.

Interesting and unusual romance about a girl from Boston (literally, as she starts the book at age 15) who moves to the Canadian wilderness to live with her uncle and finds love with Sgt Mike Flannigan of the Canadian Mounted Police. Not a typical romance but more of a woman's journey into adulthood and into life. Learning that the little things are what make a marriage and that a good, honest life can be as beautiful as the wilderness around you.

I loved this book, especially because it is based on a true story and real people.
