Tisha : The Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaska Wilderness

Helpful Score: 4


This is a great book. It is a true story about a young woman teaching in the bush of Alaska in 1927. Along with the obstacles of weather and lack of supplies, she has to deal with racism against Indians that she didn't expect. The descriptions of Alaska, makes you feel as if you are right there. This story has a lot -- history, travel, coming-of-age, adventure and love.
