Launch of Spirit of the North (Pemmican Publications).
In the aftermath of the Second World War, newlyweds Wilson and Judith struggle to build a life together in Calgary. Then, they receive a surprising offer from Wilson's father's estate: make their home in a remote cabin in northern Manitoba for three years, and receive $10,000 -- enough to buy a home of their own and build a new life. Loneliness, hunger and brutal winters test their resolve and their love. Their paths intersect with that of a timber wolf, with unpredictable results. Will they be able to stay the required three years in hopes of gaining a fortune, and some answers to questions that have plagued Wilson all his life?
Originally from Saskatchewan, Linda Ducharme now lives in Ste. Ambroise, MB. Spirit of the North is her second novel for Pemmican, following River of Tears. Prior to those, she wrote and illustrated two popular books for children - Pepere Played the Fiddle and The Bannock Book.
