Leaving behind Sophie, his newly pregnant wife, Forrester records his extraordinary experiences in hopes that his journal will reach her if he doesn't return. As they map the territory and gather information on native tribes, whose understanding of the natural world is unlike anything they have ever encountered, Forrester and his team can't escape the sense that some great, mysterious force threatens their lives. Meanwhile, in Vancouver, Sophie chafes under the social restrictions of a pregnant woman on her own, and yearns to travel alongside her husband. She, too, explores nature, through the new art of photography, unaware that the coming winter will test her own courage and faith to the breaking point.-- $c Adapted from book jacket. 650 0 $a Scientific expeditions $z Alaska $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Explorers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z Alaska $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Alaska $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Pregnant women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Photography $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Alaska $x History $y 1867-1959 $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Photography $x Fiction. 650 0 $a History. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240516014540.0 952 $l HMPB845 $d 20220113162958.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE26405CE25B11E8B947250B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
