Lynn Lovegreen takes you back in time and vividly describes what life during the gold mine rush of Alaska was all about...through the eyes of her main character Jennie- a heroine you like instantly. She is young, smart, wise and attractive...all a dangerous combo in a world of men, the only world she has known with her "da" and brothers. Can she slough off her tomboyish ways to attract the handsome Clint? This is a great tale of embracing who you are, struggling to achieve your goals, and discovering the value of family. A great read for all ages, not just YA. I learned a lot about this era of our history. Well told, well written.
*I received a free digital copy of this book from the author, but leaving a review is my personal decision and opinion.*
I really enjoyed the glimpse into life in and around gold-rush-era Nome. I appreciated that the author seemed to have good factual accuracy throughout the book (I learned a few things!) and presented a realistic picture of that part of Alaska in that era (as opposed to many authors of "Alaskan" books who don't actually live here and present ridiculous, unrealistic ideas of life here). The romance seemed a bit grade-schoolish and rushed, but I suspect that's in part because of that era and the quick progression of romantic relationships out of necessity and convenience. Overall the book was entertaining and well written, with a good cast of characters. Gold mining was hard work and was fraught with difficulties, which you'll get a taste of in this book. Even though romantic fiction is rarely a genre I read, I enjoyed seeing Jeannie, the main character, grow and learn through the book and become an even better version of herself by the end.
This book was so much fun! Jeannie was a delightful tomboy, and I really enjoyed her attempts to turn herself into a perfect lady to catch Clint's eye. Some of Jeannie's "lady lessons" made me want to die laughing. Underneath the hilarity of the book was the beautiful truth that true love comes to those who are willing to be themselves. I enjoyed learning more about the Alaskan gold rush, and I also appreciated the stand the author took against racism. This book was a very satisfying story, and it left me eager to read another Gold Rush Novel.
