Editorial Reviews
Review
I really enjoyed reading each story. Each one was a bit different because of the different authors, but they all tied in well together. The authors wove the story of Christ and salvation into each story without it coming across as preachy. The romance was sweet and heartwarming. (Tima Murrell Book Reviews by Tima 2013-12-05)
Book Description
In this beautiful story collection, five women determine to make their homes in the Alaska wilderness. From the gold rush, through a diphtheria epidemic, to the building of the Alcan Highway, their God-given stubbornness helps them overcome the challenges, but will it keep them from experiencing love?
From the Back Cover
The Wilderness Is No Place to Hide from Love
Surviving the rugged frontier of Alaska is a daunting task. But even in that hostile wilderness, God allows the tender flower of love to bloom. Follow the adventures and romances of five women who share a common home―as well as the determination of American pioneers.
In this exclusive collection of five historical romances from bestselling authors, readers will discover how God works in each life to give the Rafferty and Eriksson families lasting legacies.
Golden Dawn by Cathy Marie Hake
Golden Days by Mary Connealy
Golden Twilight by Kathleen Y’Barbo
A Light the Window by Tracie Peterson
Destiny’s Road by Tracie Peterson
From the gold rush, through a diphtheria epidemic, to the building of the Alcan Highway, readers will enjoy their own Alaskan experience. Each story is filled with every human emotion―loneliness, anger, fear, joy, and love. But can romance truly flourish in a frozen frontier?
Front flap: (30-word blurbs for 3)
Golden Dawn by Cathy Marie Hake, bestselling author from California.
Living on her twin brother’s Alaska claim, Meredith Smith regularly refuses marriage proposals that give her little hope for being more than a maid and a cook, but it is the neighbor, Ian Rafferty, who offers only Christian friendship who intrigues her most. Will secrets from her past bar her from any chance at a loving marriage?
Golden Days by Mary Connealy, bestselling author from Nebraska.
Amy Simons may be small, but she is tough and strong enough to survive Alaska’s worst―if only she can reach her father, a trapper in the wilderness. Brandon Rafferty hopes to escape the grief of losing his wife, but he didn’t expect to find another needy woman along the way, another woman who will depend on him for strength.
Golden Twilight by Kathleen Y’Barbo, bestselling author from Oklahoma.
Feeling exiled to her brothers’ homes in the Alaskan frontier, Fiona Rafferty’s one goal is to get back to civilization to enroll in medical school, not to find a husband as her father wishes. Can she make room in her dreams to include a man with a dark past―a man like Tucker Smith?
Back flap: (30-word blurbs for 3)
A Light the Window by Tracie Peterson, bestselling author from Montana who loves vacationing and researching in Alaska.
Julie Eriksson is finally fulfilling her dreams of bringing medical care to the Eskimos of Nome. Persistent marriage proposals from Sam Curtiss make her fearful of having to give up her dream and disappoint her deceased mother. Then an outbreak of diphtheria banishes such troubles from Julie’s mind. The only cure lies hundreds of miles away, across the frozen frontier. . .
Destiny’s Road by Tracie Peterson
Beth Hogan loses her husband in World War II and returns to Alaska with her two sons only to find their remote village overrun by soldiers and civilians coming to build the Alcan Highway. Then she finds a second chance at love when she meets August Eriksson. . . .

- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2019Characters are realistic and love our Lord and Savior! I like that the stories are linked through family members. Very enjoyable.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018I live in Alaska and I enjoyed reading the Alaska Brides Collection. I like how the books build on each other. The first 3 books are one continuous story and the last 2 were also 1 story. The research is true and the fiction goes along with the history of Alaska. It’s great reading Christian fiction of The Last Frontier.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2014I enjoyed these all in one books. It was refreshing to read about Alaska, as well. The authors did a good job of giving you a good feel for what it would be like to live in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Very informative, as well, with lots of historical information woven in. I now have a better idea of what my grandparents endured when they lived in Fairbanks, Alaska years ago. A good read.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2014I enjoyed this collection of five short stories and was rewarded with new authors. I have read many Tracie Patterson books and a few by Mary Connealy, but was unacquainted with Cathy Marie Hake and Kathleen Y'Barbo. I have been to the beautiful state of Alaska so these stories came alive for me. I really enjoy Christian romance and these stories told of Christ without preaching a sermon. This was a great collection of short stories and I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read Christian novels.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2023Strong women find true love in the most unusual places. They find they are stronger with the
men who God has places in their lives.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2019Sweet stories. Very wordy, I think it needed more emotion between the characters. I didn't quite connect. But it had beautiful descriptions of Alaska.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2020Great read about a state I’ve never visited before. Such solid stories of faith in God and the difference it makes!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2014Alaskan adventure. I love reading about the ways of life in a new and exciting world in Alaska. I know this is fiction but the authors bring it to life. Their writing keeps you reading and reading waiting to see what's going to happen next.
