PURELY ALASKA: Authentic Voices from the Far North includes 32 stories as far flung as Alaska itself, including that of a woman who discovers a surprising new world when she goes off to boarding school; a mother who hopes to steer his son to college, but he wants to be a commercial fisherman like his dad; a life-saving reindeer drive across Alaska; a young man's struggle against powerful addictions; a husband whose after-work snowmachine outing becomes a near-death experience; and an outsider who comes intending to help the village but finds that he is the one needing help.
