This is the compelling story of a man alone trying to survive in the Arctic as the weather is closing in. 
Jake Quinn could fly an airplane, but he was not a hunter. When his plane developed carburetor trouble, he put down on a frozen river only to see the ice break up and the plane disappear into the water. His thoughts for survival were to keep from freezing and to reach civilization. He had a rifle with two cartridges, a few matches, a parka, and a blanket. He did not have a map or a compass. Soon he was stalked by a large white bear. He knew that his rifle offered him little protection against the bear. He recognized that he was an alien in this frozen land which belonged to the stalking white bear. In fact, before the Ghost of the North, the man was on his best behavior. 
He had always admired the bears strength and awesome beauty. Although he had seen many bear from the window of his plane, this one was the biggest by far. In this story of mans place in Natures North, the bear is relentless, the man is persistent but humble. 
Jake is equally careful and respectful of the wolves he runs across. 
The special dangers and problems of surviving in the far north become very clear to any reader during the course of the novel. 
This is a spectacularly good adventure and psychological story simple, compelling, clear, and very engaging.

Intukk had a vision when he was a boy, and if it had not been for this, the People would not have settled to hunt the land and sea of the place later known as Hewitt Sound. But under the influence of the white man's greed for hides, the People broke the covenant with nature and the land became empty. Three quarters of a century later, Matthew Hewitt arrived to find information about an uncle who had disappeared. He had no Arctic experience for the long trek to Hewitt Sound, but he did have the aid of an old Inuit hunter. Together, the two men go to the brink of death as Matthew pieces together the story and comes to understand the mysteries of the land; myth twisted in truth and truth twisted in myth. The Unforgiving Land is told in a double narrative as the past and present intertwine in a perfectly balanced novel of white man's greed, the temptations of modern conveniences, Inuit transgressions, and Nature's ultimate revenge. This is the third and final novel in Paul Sullivan's trilogy paying homage to the Arctic, its people, land, weather, and fauna. Sullivan, through his extraordinary talent, draws his readers into his stories to experience the tales as they unfold. The grandeur of his language and emotion warm us as we stand out in the frozen stillness beside the great white bear, the white wolf, and the Inuit. We come to know the heartbeat of the land that "respects few who challenge it, none of those who do not understand it, and challenges all who enter it."

She felt happy with her place in the earth amidst the wonders of nature until a change of seasons; great winds and cold landscape made her bare and thoughtful. With time to ponder and feel, she came to know the strength of roots that connected her to a bigger picture of family. Aspen soon learned that 'I'm not alone, it's not just me, I'm part of a family, a big family tree.' Aspen's Roots is a beautifully illustrated story of connections and service, speaking to children and adults alike. It proves a unique children's story and art book, written to inspire.
