On the other hand, Helaina Beecham-the "young investigator" mentioned above-rubbed me entirely the wrong way. He's adventurous, confident, and loyal, but he's got a little problem with saying exactly what's on his mind, even if it's not the most appropriate thing at the time. Jacob Barringer is one of the better male characters I've read. Leaving you with a bit of a cliff-hanger, the secondary storyline of Helaina and Jacob will be a highly anticipated continuation in the Alaskan Quest saga! Peterson faithfully depicts Leah and her brother's great love of God, his teachings, living a good Christian life and relying on the direction God in their daily life, especially as Jacob tries to impart this knowledge to a very troubled Helaina.
The daily life as well as the adventures they endured traversing the unforgiving rugged terrain made this an exciting and adventuresome read. Peterson does a fabulous job in researching historical facts, native customs, and the hardships of how life was lived in 1915 on the Alaskan frontier. The entrance into their lives of a mysterious young woman, Helaina Beecham, who seemed determined to insert herself into Jayces' life might very well put a hold on any dreams Leah might have for the future. When an accident postponed their departure, Leah had time to see that Jayce was indeed a changed man, and as Leah prayed for Jayce's recovery, she hoped that perhaps the future she'd once dreamed of having with him would become a reality. Not only would Jayce reignite the flames of a long ago passion, leaving Leah with unresolved feelings, but her brother Jacob was seriously considering joining up with Jayce on an arctic expedition. Not only was Jayce a painful reminder of her unmarried state as she turned 30, but she'd never gotten over him or his rejection of her love. He brought his friend Jayce Kincaid - a man that Leah had loved 10 years before and who had broken her heart.
On a trip to gather supplies for their trading post, Jacob took longer than usual and brought back more than supplies. In spite of the hard life that territory makes a body endure, they had come to love the land and it's native people. |y .Alaskan Quest - Book 1 - Leah Barringer and her brother Jacob have lived awhile in the Alaskan wilderness.
