This is a favorite of mine from my childhood and is now a favorite of my daughter's, as well. It is based on the true story of a Boston girl who moves to the Canadian North with her new husband, a Canadian Mountie, to share his rugged life in a remote village there. They experience both joys and hardships together. This is a very compassionate look at hard times and the strength of character that Kathy develops through love and loss. A compelling story full of meaning and richness. Warning: there are some vivid scenes of tragedy that might not be appropriate for an elementary-aged child.
