The Secret of the Alaskan Gift: A Jodi Mystery

By Virginia Ann Work

When Jodi boards the plane in Vancouver, B.C. with her friend, Lexie, she can't believe she is going to the vast and exciting Last Frontier state of Alaska, and even before the plane lands, she finds mystery and intrigue. The two girls stay with Lexie's aunt and uncle in Anchorage and explore the beautiful state from the air and on the land. Yet danger seems to lurk in every corner, starting with an Inuit girl they meet and a painting she gives Jodi that her father painted. Dark, evil men haunt Jodi's every step as she tries to unravel the mystery, each step taking her more into trouble. She lands up in the hold of a fishing boat with a hundred dead salmon, and flees from men who trail her every step. On an airplane ride into the interior, after landing at a small lake, Jodi and Lexie meet an older couple who run a wilderness Bible camp. They also meet Jay, their grandson, who can't take his eyes off Lexie. Jodi explores the area by boat and finds more mystery as she meets an old man called Bearclaw and is trapped in his cabin. Jodi discovers that the whole thing hinges on the painting Mikkel gave her at the beginning, yet she has lost it, and Mikkel is hiding a secret. With her relationship to Lexie fraying apart, and her heart troubled with fears and doubts, she cries out to God for help and finds Him faithful. Yet she must face her worst fear -- fire -- to save those she loves and bring the greedy, wicked gang to justice. In that moment, she finds what she longs for most, and she discovers what it means to be forgiven, accepted and totally loved. This is Jodi and Lexie's fifth adventure, one that will try them to the upmost and teach them what matters most in life. It's a story you don't want to miss.
