Fabulous!!!

This book was recomended to me, and I was instantly hooked just from looking at the cover! I read the first chapter, and it had me in tears. I kept reading, and I couldn't put the book down! I actually read on the weekend---on my own free will! (That doesn't happen much, but now it does) This was my very 1st Christian book, and it's very inspiring. I advise any Christian to take a crack at this book filled with adventure, romance, tradgety, humor... you name it! It's a good clean, Christian romance for all ages. If you're a bit shaky on reading it, don't worry. Just go ahead, read it. Trust me, I loved it!!! I know you will too.

Warm, heart-touching story

Bonnie Leon captivates the struggles in Alaska, as she shows you--mind you, I said 'shows' not 'tells'-- how Alaskin life really is. This was her very first novel, and it's absouletly marvelous. Anna, 16 year old Native Aluet, watches in horror as her old ways, village, and family are washed away by an unmerciful tsunami. Erik Engstrom, a tall Norwegian man, feels it is God's will to help Anna and her younger sister, Iya. The book is filled with adventure and romance. It's a one-more-chaper-till-bed books; it's a page turner. I highly recommend any Christian reader to enhance yourself in this great book.

The Journey of Eleven Moons

Excellent book. Counldn't wait for the next book to arrive. I have read almost all of Bonnie Leon's books and just love them. She keeps the reader interested and makes it hard for the reader to go to sleep because "just one more chapter and I'll turn out the light" turns out to be I'll just finish the book and THEN sleep. Thanks Bonnie for your great Northern Lights Series. .......

Inspirational, soul feeding and a must read

This book is set in the early 18th century along the Alaskan coast. Here, a girl and her brother are alone in the world with minimal survival skills but a storng will to survive. Without even a God they trust to turn to, they feel lost in the large barren world that they reside in. They were living each day as it passed until they met Erick, a 'white-man' who wanted to help them. At first they were a little apprehensive about Ercik as She believed that the 'white-man's' God brought the destruction upon her family. But soon, she learnt to trust him and the cemented a firm friendship between the two. This story is warm and it makes you grateful for what you have. Not only that, it is what some people may call "soul food" and is a good reading book for long winter evenings. It also shows us the awesome power of God and the fact that faith can work wonders.
