    About this audiobook

    Cassidy Ivanoff and her father, John, work at the new and prestigious Curry Hotel outside Mt. McKinley. While John will be expedition and wilderness exploration guide for the wealthy tourists, Cassidy has signed on as a cook's assistant. Both are busy as the hotel prepares to welcome the president of the United States on his way to drive in the golden spike to officially complete the railroad. Allan Brennan travels to the Curry Hotel to be an apprentice of a seasoned Alaska mountain guide. Ever since his father's death climbing Mt. McKinley, he's worked to earn enough money to make the trek to the Alaska territory himself. His father's partner blames their guide for the death of his father, but Allan wants to find the truth for himself. 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.

      It was ok nothing too exciting but hold my attention I like inspirational input the end I think was rushed not too much there the narrator did a good job
    • 4/5
      This was a great book. I enjoyed every minute. The characters were well developed and I loved all of them. The head cook for the Curry Hotel was Mrs. Johnson and she reminded me so much of Mrs. Patmore in Downton Abbey! Cassidy, her father John, and Allan were great and believable. The plot was well thought out and full of history. I looked up pictures of the Curry Hotel and while reading the book, I could really visualize the scenes.There was a wonderful faith aspect in this novel. The way Cassidy and her dad, John, loved the Lord and trusted Him in their lives was inspirational.I’m looking forward to reading the next two books in this series.

      Continuing my quest to learn more about Alaska through fiction, I listened to the audiobook edition of In The Shadow of Denali, the first book in the Heart of Alaska series by Tracie Peterson and Kimberely Woodhouse. I really enjoyed the journey back to the early 1920s when the railroad leading to the new national park was completed. Denali had been renamed Mt. McKinley, and experienced and not-so-experienced outdoorsmen were flocking to see the wonders of the Alaskan wilderness. I loved this glimpse into the history surrounding Denali. I found the historical details interesting, while the adventure and intrigue kept me saying just one chapter more. The descriptions of the beauty of the area has heightened my anticipation to see Alaska for myself. There is also a wonderful romance for fans of the genre. Peterson and Woodhouse weave a faith thread throughout the book that focuses on the reliability of Christ to care and provide, even in the hard times. Main character Cassidy Ivanoff is the catalyst for many of the characters to discover or grow in their faith. Cassidy’s faith is also tested in ways that felt very natural. The book’s plot line is resolved, making it a standalone, but I am eager to return to Denali to see just what awaits some of the other characters that were introduced in book 1.Recommended.Audience: adults.(I purchased the audiobook from Audible. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)

      If you want to learn about Alaska and its natives and their lifestyle, read any of the books by Dana Stabenow
    • 5/5
      I greatly enjoyed reading this book and learning more about Alaska and this time period. I liked learning about the living conditions and what all it took to be a mountain guide. I think it would have been exciting to be around during this time period, but a bit scary too. It was great to get a perspective on the president's visit as well. I also enjoyed learning about Cassidy and her father as they were a part of this exciting time and the mystery and working together of Cassidy and Allan had me not wanting to put the book down. I love the stories that these authors pair together to write and this one was no exception. I received a copy of this book from the publisher, but the review is entirely my own.

      Title: In the Shadow of Denali (The Heart of Alaska #1)Author: Tracie Peterson & Kimberley WoodhousePages: 320Year: 2017Publisher: Bethany House PublishersMy rating is 5+ out of 5 stars.First, let me say that this rating is not based on who the authors are, but on the story. The authors go to great extent to share what is true historical fact along with what came from their imaginations. Also, they include websites readers can access to gain further insight and a couple of hard print books as well. I love the historical aspect because it isn’t just events, but people... who they are, what they accomplished and how they lived. Also, the authors share updated information about the Curry hotel, lookout and the people who have lived there for so long a time. It was very interesting and fascinating to read and remember that what happened in the story and in history was during WWI.What I loved too was learning the name of the tribe that lived in the area and a man who worked to put their language in writing. Alaska is a very intriguing place that someday I hope to visit as much of it isn’t touched by man. I have read the other stories Tracie Peterson wrote that were placed in Alaska as well so when a new series was announced set in Alaska, I couldn’t wait to read them! Kimberley Woodhouse has written a couple of novels as well and I believe they are set in Alaska too. Together these two authors make a formidable well-researched team!Here the story takes place in Curry, Alaska in the year 1917. The characters are varied and interesting, especially Cassidy Faith who was based on a real, special, young lady known to the authors. Cassidy’s character father is from Alaska and knows the language, people and area like the back of his hand. He is the tour guide for the hotel. The themes of faith, love and redemption are set alongside a novel rich with action, adventure and mystery.I was so grabbed by the story that I ordered a copy of one book recommended by the authors to learn more from the men who actually climbed Mount McKinley. Please take time to enjoy the fictional story and then read about the real people and times in Alaska’s history. You will be extremely glad to have done so!Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog.
