The Journey Of Aurora Starr

Winter 1898. Martin Starr leaves his farm in the northern tip of Michigan's lower peninsula to seek his fortune as a Klondiker in the Alaskan Gold Rush. His wife Aurora stays behind to manage the farm and teach at the local school while he and his boyhood friend Frank embark on the "Deadly Edmonton Trail." A year later Aurora goes to look for him, her fears for her husband compelling her across the continent to Seattle, then on to Alaska and finally into British Columbia. When Aurora finds her husband at Dease Lake, B.C., their reunion is not what she expected. The Gold Rush has changed them both. The couple and the whole nation, on the cusp of the 20th century, will soon be swept into a new, uncertain world. In the end, the upheavals in Aurora's life take her on a journey more unpredictable than Martin's odyssey in the mountains, rivers and muskegs of Canada. 9780615974798 0615974791 292 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=yh6HoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
