Best book I ever read!

I really have enjoyed this book. It is spell binding. Now I am reading her next book "Home in the Bear's Domain". I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

O Rugged Land of Gold

If you want to truly feel the rugged Alaskan gold days, to sense the raw courage of survival and to be deeply inspired by success, Martha Martin won't disappoint. Her graphic journal of days spent alone in a gold mining camp is well written - it comes from the heart. You feel as though you are experiencing her experience. Many days I feel as though faced with insurmountable challenges - her attitude, her grace and courage have given me new perspectives. I have a grand desire to go to Alaska - her book will tie me over until I actually get there!

Captivating!

A friend loaned me this book and the minute I started reading it, it was difficult to put down. While going to southeastern Alaska for the first time myself this past summer to fish, I related to Helen's story in the total awesomeness of Alaska's remote beauty and ruggedness. What she handled as a woman from the east, truely amazed me. I was raised out west and consider myself a strong woman. But with her having her baby on her own and taking care of both herself and her baby was admirable in my eyes. A very well written book. I'm into her second book now.

O Rugged Land of Gold

Great story of perserverance and courage. It was loaned to me by a friend who had seen the made for cable movie. He had the book ordered for him. I have passed the book on twice since! It is great. How do I get to see the cable movie? What channel? Do you have any information on obtaining a copy of it? PLEASE.......

Wonderful

The kind of book that transports you out of your space and time into another person's world with their concerns. The hardships and loneliness of life in a small cabin in remote Alaska make you grateful for the comforts and loved ones in your life. And it has a happy ending.
