After the death of their father, Collette and Jean-Michel Langelier are no longer tied to post-war France. While his sister dreams of adventure, Jean-Michel is hoping to finally escape reminders of the horrors he faced in the war. When Jean-Michel receives an unexpected invitation for them to visit Alaska and the Curry Hotel, it seems an opportunity for a change he needs.
Katherine Demarchis is a young widow who does not grieve the dangerous husband she was forced to marry. Now she just wants to retreat to a quiet life, content to be alone. First, though, she’s agreed to accompany her grandmother on a final trip, but never expects to see a man from her past.
Katherine and Jean-Michel once shared a deep love that was torn apart by forces beyond their control. Reunited now, have the years changed them too deeply to rediscover what they had? And when Jean-Michel’s nightmares return with terrifying consequences, will faith be enough to heal what’s been broken for so long?

"He wouldn't be going to Alaska."
A voice from his past has summoned Frenchman Jean-Michel Langelier to leave his nightmares behind and travel to the beautiful state of Alaska in order to reunite with memories that are too precious to consider. Haunted by the travesties he witnessed in the Great Syrian Revolt of 1925, Jean-Michel is a broken man, especially following the death of his dear father, resulting in the guardianship of his precocious teen sister.
Lovely Katherine Demarchis has been convinced by her grandmother to leave New York, following the death of her cruel husband, and to traverse America on their way to spending the summer at the renowned Alaskan Curry Hotel. Arriving at their destination, imagine how stunned Katherine is to find that the first love of her life is also a guest at the hotel.
What a lovely story; reacquainting readers with favorite characters from the first book in the series, while demonstrating God's ability to breathe new life into the burned ashes of others' terrible circumstances.
