Fool's gold or the real thing? An out-of-place snowflake in San Diego beckons Ariel Dixon home to Alaska. She follows its lure, despite her fiance's strong objections. After twelve long years in which Ariel believes a beloved childhood friend dead, Jean Thoreau keeps a boyhood promise and returns. Ariel stands at a crossroads. Emmet Carey represents wealth and social position. French-Canadian Jean offers the life Ariel and her uncrowned salmon king father know and love: fighting the elements with a swaying deck beneath their feet and Big Tom Dixon bellowing fishermen's songs one moment and offering prayers the next. Three men, peppery Aunt Rebekah, and all the folks in Ketchikan wait for Ariel's decision. But first, there is a "winterlude," with or without Emmet. * * * Glacier-fed streams and snow-clad mountains like those found in Alaska are part of award-winning author Colleen L. Reece's heritage. She grew up near a small western Washington logging town surrounded by four major rivers, dreaming of someday writing a book. God has multiplied Colleen's "someday" book into 150+ "Books You Can Trust," six million copies sold.
