About this book
In 1920s Alaska, Jack and Mabel are isolated by the harsh winter and by the grief surrounding their childlessness. One night they build a snow girl, and soon a mysterious child begins appearing at the edge of their homestead. Is she real, imagined, or something older than either explanation? Eowyn Ivey keeps the setting tangible—cold cabins, trapping, hunger, and wilderness—while allowing folklore and longing to blur the boundaries of ordinary life. The result is an atmospheric, bittersweet story about marriage, motherhood, loss, and the fragile ways people make room for wonder.
