Customer Reviews

Vicarious trip to Alaska & finding your place

The Real People is a good book. The author's insightful descriptions of the landscape and people made me feel like I personally visited this remote Eskimo village next to the Bering Sea. As the editorial review states, the author found "a renewing faith and acceptance of her place and where she belongs". Perhaps this book subtly invites you to find or reaffirm your own faith and acceptance with the "real people" in your life. The author provides serious as well as some funny & interesting descriptions. Enjoy this book - I did.
