A classic
Mrs. Mike, by the Freedman's. So here is a moving story; I can't say it is great literature but it is a classic, a classic in that I read as a teen more than 40 years ago and it still holds my interest as I reread it now. They have written a sequel in recent years so I thought I would find and read Mrs. Mike, again before I read the sequel. In Mrs. Mike, sixteen-year-old Kathy O'Fallon of Boston in 1907 has pleurisy. She is sent to her uncle in Alberta, Canada to become stronger. While there she meets and marries a Canadian Mounty, Mike Flannigan. The story is her ventures into northern, northern, northern Canada. She is the only white woman in the area. An engaging story with a stunning and dangerous picture of the north woods in the early 20th century.
