Critic reviews

"A very good story that causes the reader to cheer, cry, and dispair for the miners and the heroines." ( The Historical Novels Review)

Excellent Read

I like the way the author brings that time era to life and brings God’s redeeming love and amazing grace into the lives of many others.

very good book!

this book was filled with suspense and drama and faith on the Lord! very enjoyable. I wish there was an epilogue at the end

Faith

I liked the example of putting God first and trusting in Him. Also because in Alaska.

Treasures of the North

This was quite different from the last series I had read. After adjusting to the new setting of the North, I settled in to hope that things would be all right.

Deceit Evil and God goodness

This book took you on different avenues of deceit, evil and goodness, but there was many truths about God in this book about making sure that others don’t depend on you that they depend on God.
