PURELY ALASKA: Authentic Voices from the Far North includes 32 stories as far flung as Alaska itself, including that of a woman who discovers a surprising new world when she goes off to boarding school; a mother who hopes to steer his son to college, but he wants to be a commercial fisherman like his dad; a life-saving reindeer drive across Alaska; a young man's struggle against powerful addictions; a husband whose after-work snowmachine outing becomes a near-death experience; and an outsider who comes intending to help the village but finds that he is the one needing help.

"Purely Alaska portrays the stunning physical world of Alaska and its spectacular challenges. These stories open the hearts and memories to reveal the pain and strength, the joy, endurance and faith of those who survive and thrive within Alaska's often unforgiving wintery power." - William L. Iggiagruk Hensley, author of "Fifty Miles from Tomorrow"Inside you'll find 32 stories as diverse and far flung as Alaska itself. A village girl discovers a surprising new world at a boarding school hundreds of miles from home. A mother tires to steer her son toward college but he just wants to be a salty fisherman like his dad. An after-work snowmachine outing turns treacherous. A revered Inupiaq elder recalls a traumatic 1930s reindeer drive across extreme northern Alaska. A young man struggles against powerful addictions. An outsider who arrives to help the village finds he's the one in need of help. Discover much more: tales of adventure, love, hopes, and dreams. A follow-up to the popular Authentic Alaska, this anthology offers an insider's look at the everyday business of living off the land and waterways in America's most remote state.
