Description
Bestselling and beloved author Janet Dailey captures the heart of the last American frontier in this rousing, passionate tale of splendid adventures and unforgettable loves. Through seven generations and two hundred years, the Tarakanov family will carve civilizations out of an untamed wilderness. In the eighteenth century, Tasha Tarakanov is forced to choose between her beloved Andrei, who is a Cossack, and the future of the Aleut tribe. Zachar, fated to love the gorgeous, dangerous Raven of the rival Tinglets, will betray his tribe's greatest secret. Marisha runs away with a handsome Klondike prospector, but finds her fortune as Glory St. Clair, Alaska's most beautiful and notorious madam. Wylie Cole is a man of courage and skill that harken back to the fortitude of his Indian forebears, and he will play a vital role in the defense of his homeland during World War II-and in the glories of the birth of the Alaskan state. These and other fascinating characters will play out a drama that is epic in scope, as captivating as Alaska itself. Glorious and grand, The Great Alone is an astounding achievement in storytelling.
