Book Reviews of A Place Beyond: Finding Home in Arctic Alaska
Book Review: A review from the Northwest Borough of Alaska
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must-read for anyone planning to spend time in Alaska. Jans captures the norms, customs and ways of the people in the Northwest Arctic region. This was one of my very first books when contemplating moving to Alaska. And I recently re-read the books and realized exactly how much I had missed the first time through. It has been almost two years since returning to the Arctic and I cannot believe the everyday life he captures! Read this for all it is worth and extract all you can from his words.
Summary of A Place Beyond: Finding Home in Arctic Alaska
