I could not put this book down! Pastor Jack Douglas, after suffering a tragedy, leaves his past behind and sets out on a journey across America where he questions humanity and his faith. After another tragedy in North Dakota, he finally shuts out humanity until he arrives in Alaska where he's tested once again. Despite his best efforts, people come to rely on him and he fights his feelings for the proprietor of the Inn he's lodging at, an Inuit woman who has suffered similar tragedies. I fell in love with this book, the characters, and think it would be a great motion picture! I recommend Spirit of the Amaroq for those seeking adventure and the chance to love again!
