註釋"A Masterpiece of Love and Adventure." Joe Dugan, a successful businessman from Indiana decides to build a cabin on the shore of a small pristine lake in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Looking for a new direction in his life, he is lured to the mountains by their rugged and majestic beauty and his attraction to an alluring young woman. He faces the external forces of brutal weather, a deranged thug whose primary mission in life is to kill him, a wild grizzly bear protecting her cubs, and the advice of friends who try to dissuade him from his plan of spending the winter in a cabin that will be inaccessible until the snow melts in the spring. His biggest struggle is the conflict between his moral and sensuous being while trying to cope with his attraction to a woman half his age. Instead of moving away, she moved her head to look in his eyes and slowly moved her lips to his. Joe put his arms around her and pulled her close. As the kiss ended and they slowly moved apart, Joe said with a slight stammer, "I___, I'm sorry ____." Lacey put her finger to his lips to stop his words. "I'm not," she said softly. "It was my choice and I wouldn't trade it for anything." While trying to adjust himself to his snow bound confinement, extraordinary circumstances deliver a most unexpected guest. His life turns into a roller coaster; first, the long uphill grade to the peak of happiness followed by the steep and sudden fall into despair. Always at hand is Fred, Joe's Alaskan Malamute. Whether defending against a mean grizzly or comforting a despondent woman he will make you laugh, make you sad, and shed a tear or two. If you only have time to read one book, make it this one. You will be glad you did. ADVICE: Don't start this book at night unless you intend to stay up late.
