![]() (Ironically, I married someone named Mike, and lived in Alaska for three years but it just wasn't the same). I definitely wanted to grow up and marry a Canadian Mountie and live in a cabin in the wilderness. I first read this book when I was twelve and, of course, fell madly in love with Mike. Kathy and Mike learn respect for the Indians, their beliefs and their way of life. We follow along with Kathy and Mike and witness their life in the harsh and beautiful land, which includes isolation, snow, fire, death, bears, and even deadly mosquitoes. Mike is a Canadian Mounted Policeman, who falls in love with her and takes her to the Northwest Territories of the Canadian wilderness. ![]() Kathy is suffering from pleurisy and is sent alone to Canada to recover at her uncle's home in Calgary. This story is about sixteen year old Katherine Mary O’Fallon, a 16 year old Irish girl from Boston in 1907, and the man she falls in love with, Sargent Mike Flannigan, a hero who is handsome, chivalrous, strong and fearless. ![]()
