About This Book

A young Arctic-born girl raised between her grandmother’s household and a temperate farm moves from playful childhood into responsibilities and sorrow when a newly arrived sister becomes ill and dies. Later she and her mother travel by sail-and-steam ship north to rejoin her father, encountering sea ice, coastal settlements, and Greenlandic ports. The narrative blends shipboard routine and travel detail with domestic scenes and vivid descriptions of northern landscapes and local Arctic communities, following the child’s curious observations, family bonds, and gradual coming-of-age amid unfamiliar cultures and environments.
