Mrs. Mike

Rating:
Summary: I loved it!
Review: This is a very engaging historical romance. Set in the early 1900s, it is the story of young Boston woman who marries a Canadian Mounty and settles with him in the Northern Canadian wilderness. I was captivated by how much they grew to love the lifestyle, despite wildfires, plagues and harsh wilderness conditions. This story can be enjoyed by young and old alike.

Summary: For Forty+ Years... Inspiring a Life
Review: Today at 61 as I trace certain lifelong attitudes to their origins I see a book I read as a pre-teen-- "Mrs. Mike." This book inspired me to both reading and thinking-- to be strong, to take risks, to think independently. And though I haven't always been true to those ideas (who could be 100%?), from that reading and thereafter every piece of burned toast in my way, whether actual or symbolic, would recall the "burned toast" incident at the book's end to jerk me back, realign skewed priorities. Marvelous!
