Frozen Tears by Mary Ann MacAfee


Book Description
In Alaska's stunning but brutal interior, where white and Native cultures clash, Kale Weaver struggles to survive a devastating tragedy that becomes the genesis for her allegiance to wolves and the circumstances making her target of a primitive superstition. Aided by her best friend, a worn-out helicopter pilot, and the bond shared with a wolf shaman, she then struggles against what follows: the bigotry and rejection imposed on her and her half-breed son,until she is challenged by the ultimate ordeal. Whatever the risks, she must fulfill a wish for her young son that she had never imagined for him. But above all, Kale's page-turning journey shows that love can triumph over life's most dire challenges and painful losses.

My thoughts
“Frozen Tears” by Mary Ann MacAfee is a love story and adventure set in the vastness that is Alaska. Kale Leland, a young environmentalist meets Elliot Weaver, a local Ennuit and fall in love. She is introduced into the Ennuit culture. But after Elliot dies, she struggles to survive in the wilderness with the help of a wolf, so that their child can be born. But rejection is found everyone and Kale has a rough road ahead. Ms. MacAfee describes the rough frozen tundra of Alaska, the animals that inhabit it and the depth of the characters is amazing. She has a way that draws one into the world of Kale. Makes me want to be one with nature.
