This is not a book I would normally read, but the longer I sit with it, the more I am thinking this will be a story that stays with me for a long time. Your heart strings will pull for this father-daughter duo and their continued bond.

Mehso-so

Legends of the North Cascades is told basically in 3 different timelines. You have the timeline as a solider, then you have a story about a mother and her son and then you have the 'after'. In the story you also have some other people's point of views about this father and daughter relationship. When Dave can't take life anymore he decides to move up to the mountains with his daughter Bella.

BookNightOwl You have people who try everything in their power to separate them because they feel it's not okay for a little girl to live in the mountains. I found this book to be entertaining and thoughtful. 3y

As a thank you for reading this book early and sharing a quote that will be printed in the galley, the publisher sent me special Chapel Hill, NC toffee! Looks delicious!

This novel fuses the parallel narratives of a family of Native Peoples and an Iraq War Veteran and his daughter. Evison‘s evocative storytelling dives into the human psyche and our shared desire to forge our own paths. It‘s more than a survival story—it‘s about loneliness, connection, intrepidness, triumph, failure, and love--& the soul of the North Cascades and the beauty and cruelty of the frozen wilderness is preserved within these pages. 4 ⭐
