About this ebook
..AND AGAIN THE PLACE EVOKED A FEELING OF VASTNESS AND SECLUSION
Yukoners are a special kind of breed. They eat only when they are hungry, sleep when it is dark, and work when the time is right! This was how the Pastor introduced the Yukon to the new teacher. She had come to the Yukon because she wanted desperately to experience a change in her lifes purpose.
During her turbulent year at Minto Creek, Katie's life changes in ways she would never have imagined,mainly through her relationships witha little half-breed boy and a lonely forester.
This is a story about real people. It is about friendship and love, adventure and challenge.
Summer of Fireweed, brims with the true spirit of Canadas North.
.THE LONG DAYS OF THE INTENSIVE SUMMER HAD BECOME A SEA OF TIME..
Yoka Rusch
Yoka was born during the Second World War on the rainy, windy North Sea coast of the Netherlands. She grew up on a dairy farm. Even as a little girl she would sit in a tree near the barn inventing stories. Sometimes she wrote them down and tucked them away. After college she decided to travel around the world, where she encountered the love of her life. They married and had 3 children and her mothering years didn’t leave much time for writing. In the 1990’s, as her children were leaving the nest, Yoka had the unique opportunity to take part in a cross-culture camp in the Yukon Territory. Her desire to write a story was back! ”Summer of Fireweed” springs from her zest and zeal for life; it is inspired by the magic and splendor of that remote country and the unique character of its people.
