mb (USA: MI) (2013/12/26): I enjoyed this story quite a bit. I guess I have a feel for the melancholy, especially at this time of year. Interesting to read about, even though this is technically fiction, pioneers in Alaska. Well done tie-in with fairy tale(s), too. Good read for the unintentionally childless as well, you might related. Nature-lovers and winter-lovers would probably enjoy this as well.
*spoiler alert* Kinda a downer, but good overall. You should read it.
