Summary: 5 Stars
Waltz With Me, Alaska is the real life story of the author and her family as they strived to find their home. From the time she was a small child, Donna loved Alaska and couldn't dream of living anywhere else. Her life dream was to find a piece of land in Alaska and raise a family. Fortuitously, Donna feel in love and married a man, Dick, who loved Alaska also as much as his wife. Though the two held dead end jobs in Anchorage, they dreamed of someday owning their own piece of land where they'd raise their two children Ricky and Katherine.
Time dragged on their dream never seemed any closer. Finally, the couple packed up their family, sold what they could, and went on a search for a piece of land. An exhaustive search turned up nothing. However, just as the couple began to despair, the opportunity to purchase a piece of land miraculously came their way. The Bernhardt family finally had a home. For the next thirteen months, this amazing family would live in a canvas tent, throughout the Alaskan winter, while building their cabin.
Waltz With Me, Alaska is an amazing story. It is a story about survival under the worst possible conditions. It is a story of striving towards one's dream even when everyone thinks you are completely insane. Furthermore, this book is also a story about love: romantic love between partners, love of family, and love of the land. While reading Waltz With Me, Alaska, the reader is transported into a world of raw beauty and danger where he or she is quickly and completed emotionally attached to the events in the story.
