Goodman, Lilly
Seeking adventure, dog musher Heidi Ravison moves to a tiny remote town in Alaska's interior knowing nothing about either the quirky characters that composed the community nor the harsh flavor of the land which renders it enchanting. Her many backwoods adventures, which range from having to haul drinking water at fifty degrees below zero, to searching for a wrecked bush plane, lead Heidi to realize a passionate love for the land. But when she finds herself amidst a bitter battle between conservationists and recreational snowmachiners, Heidi learns that Candle, Alaska can break hearts as well. Sprinkled with satire, Candle Sparks brings the reader along on a vivid journey into the wilds of bush Alaska.
