Customer Reviews

Adventurous and Entertaining.

I read "Bright Moon at Mid-Day." I loved it! It was easy to read and flowed very well. Another thing I liked was there was always something happening. When one adventure ended another was in the works.I like to be entertained when I read, that is the idea, and this book did just that. I actually was left wondering how and what the family did when they came back to the lower forty-eight. It is a good book!

Characters I cared about

This is a book I hated to put down and looked forward to getting back to - I wanted to see what would happen to this family I had grown to care about. Living in Alaska at the turn of the 20th century wasn't easy under the best of circumstances, yet William Miller's growing family thrived during their 10-year stay. Of course Miller's phenomenal luck was more than a little helpful here.Though the story is fiction it is based upon the lives of the actual Miller family, and to me that made the characters all the more interesting.

"Bright Moon" is Terriffic!

Exciting! Every chapter is an adventure. The growth of this courageous and loving young couple as they raise five children in the inhospitable Northern Alaska town of Candle, near the Arctic Circle, is a wonderful book for all ages. I especially liked the love and caring for their sled dogs. The change from a chauvenistic male to a loving and caring husband and father is the underlying theme as far as I was concerned. A fine read!
