About the Book:

Their Future Depends on Unlocking the Secrets the Mountain Holds From the Past

Cassidy Ivanoff and her father, John, work at the new and prestigious Curry Hotel near the foot of Mount McKinley--Denali as it's still called by the natives. John is the wilderness and exploration guide for the wealthy tourists while Cassidy works in the kitchen as Cook's assistant. The entire staff buzzes with excitement during the busy days preparing for the President's imminent visit. His historic trip to dedicate the new national park on his way to driving in the golden spike to officially complete the Alaska Railroad will be the beginning of a new era for all of them and place The Curry at the heart of Alaska.

Allan Brennan travels to the Curry Hotel to be an apprentice to the seasoned Alaska mountain guide, with hopes of discovering the truth about his father's death on the mountain years earlier. His father's business partner blames the guide for Henry Brennan's untimely death, but Allan cannot be at peace until he knows for sure. He finds an unlikely ally in Cassidy, and as the two begin to look into the mystery, they suddenly find that things are much less clear, and much more dangerous, than either could ever imagine.

My Opinion

Alaska is definitely on my bucket list of places to see. I grew up in Montana in the mountains and I absolutely LOVE mountains and beautiful scenery. I can only imagine how beautiful Alaska, the mountains and the glaciers are.

In this book, I got to visualize all of Alaska's beauty through the eloquent words of the authors! Not only do I get to experience the beauty of Alaska but the book was full of mystery, romance, history and so much more! This is definitely a must-read especially if you have an interest in Alaska and its history! I learned so much about Denali, the history of Alaska and its people!
