Twenty-six years later she gets the shock of a lifetime when her father reaches out to her to let her know he has cancer. With his days numbers, Calla makes the decision of a lifetime and travels to Alaska to reconnect with her dying father.

Jonah, a quiet and brooding pilot who works for Calla’s father, can’t imagine living anywhere other than Alaska. He’s convinced that Calla won’t last a week in the wild. With Calla determined to prove him wrong. It would be foolish for Calla to fall in love with a pilot after all of the pain it caused her mother, right?

I loved this book! Seeing Calla build that relationship with her father and coming to know and love him brought tears to my eyes. Something about this book spoke to the little girl who desperately wanted to know her father and didn’t know how. If you've ever been estranged from your parents and have struggled to find your way back to them;  even if you didn’t think it was possible, this one’s for you.
