Alaska, the 1920s. Jack and Mabel have staked everything on a fresh start in a remote homestead, but the wilderness is a stark place, and Mabel is haunted by the baby she lost many years before. When a little girl appears mysteriously on their land, each is filled with wonder, but also foreboding - is she what she seems, and can they find room in their hearts for her?
Is the little girl a real girl or is she a fairytale come to life? All through the book my opinion swung one way, then the other. It was a beautifully written, enchanting book with a bittersweet ending. It was sad that those who loved her didn't understand her and tried to make her fit their idea of how she should live.
