4.0 out of 5 stars
An Alaskan
Although this book is choppy, I found the author and the history quit interesting. Could be because I have meet her and got more information then the book gives and have also read her other book "How Long Must I Hide" first. I believe that although this book was written first, you should read the other before reading this one. It will give a clearer picture of the author.

A tough read
Although the writer of this book was a teacher she writes less than a page about her experience in that field. Mary Carey is by her own account a journalist. The style of the book is not to my taste. It is choppy and lacks a definitive story line or cohesive theme other than her life and all of the "famous" people she knows, herself included. I do not like to...

This review is from: Alaska, not for a woman (Hardcover)
Although the writer of this book was a teacher she writes less than a page about her experience in that field. Mary Carey is by her own account a journalist. The style of the book is not to my taste. It is choppy and lacks a definitive story line or cohesive theme other than her life and all of the "famous" people she knows, herself included. I do not like to read "endquote" when the punctuation has clearly conveyed that idea. Pet peeve perhaps but even still the book is not likely to be of interest to the current casual reader. The title of this book piqued my interest, unfortunately it was all downhill from there. If you plan to live in Talkeetna and want to know the history of the era you may find this book useful. Otherwise read it only if you plan to teach in Talkeetna and want to know some early history of the school there or you have an undying curiosity about the author, Mary Carry, as it reads like a bad self-centered gossip column.

If you plan to live in Talkeetna and want to know the history of the era written in small town newspaper gossip column style then read this book. Title aside, this is the book that I enjoyed the least. It reads like a bad self centered gossip column.
