Sophie Ware, a kindergarten teacher in Buffalo Jump, Alberta, is just lonely enough to accept an outrageous proposal of marriage from her farmhand, Alexander Bresnyachuk, a second-generation Ukrainian whose main desire is to continue working Sophie’s land. As the two are drawn closer to each other’s friends and relativesand to each otherSophie is forced to confront the obsession of those around her with a shadowy, almost legendary figure from Alexander’s past. This is an impressive novel, amusing and touching by turns, with likable characters, believable dialogue, and clear, brisk prose. Best of all, it has insightful things to say about love, family, and friendship that transcend its rural Canadian setting. Lonnie Beene, West Texas State Univ. Lib., Canyon

Hello, I came across your blog by accident. Very interesting. I am a former bush and commercial pilot and had the pleasure of meeting Martin Hartwell briefly in Yellowknife. I am going to look for your books. Feel free to reply to my email, I wish I could have talked with Martin more we certainly could have exchanged many tales of northern flying.
