Tucker truly is, capable of delivering not only a worthy continuation of a most beloved story, but somehow also matching oh-so perfectly the freshness of the first book. But from the moment we step into Calla Fletcher’s shoes again, we are reminded of what a stellar storyteller K.A. So when a sequel was announced, I was filled with both delight and trepidation, knowing that a sequel rarely measures up to the original. Some books embed themselves in your heart from the very first page, the unexpected beauty of them taking your breath away time and time again, and The Simple Wild continues to be one of the most understatedly beautiful stories I’ve ever read, affecting in a way that it never stops making me want to read it again.
This is not the future Calla had in mind, leaving her to fear that perhaps she is doomed to follow in her mother’s fleeing footsteps after all. In a world with roaming wildlife that has her constantly watching over her shoulder and harsh conditions that stretch far beyond the cold, dark, winter months, just stepping outside her front door can be daunting. With Jonah gone more than he’s home, one neighbor who insists on transforming her into a true Alaskan, and another who seems more likely to shoot her than come to her aid, Calla grapples with forging her own path. When Jonah arrives on her doorstep with a proposition she can’t dismiss, she takes the leap and rushes back to Alaska to begin their exciting future together.īut Calla soon learns that even the best intentions can lead to broken promises, and that compromise comes with a hefty price-a log cabin in interior rural Alaska that feels as isolating as the western tundra. From the internationally best-selling author of The Simple Wild comes the continuation of a woman’s journey to Alaska and a life she never imagined for herself.Ĭalla Fletcher returns to Toronto a different person, struggling to find direction and still very much in love with the rugged bush pilot she left behind.
