<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Now in paperback, the gripping and inspiring tale of a woman's survival alone in the Arctic.</strong></p><p>In 1921, four men and one woman ventured deep into the Arctic. Two years later, only one returned.</p><p>When 23-year-old Inuit Ada Blackjack signed on as a seamstress for a top-secret Arctic expedition, her goal was simple: earn money and find a husband. But her terrifying experiences--both in the wild and back in civilization--comprise one of the most amazing untold adventures of the 20th century. Based on a wealth of unpublished materials, including Ada's never-before-seen diaries, bestselling author Jennifer Niven narrates this true story of an unheralded woman who became an unlikely hero.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The beauty of Niven's tale reveals itself slowly, in hard-to-find bits and pieces, mirroring the piecemeal dawning of dread that blanketed the book's five protagonists one winter in 1923 on a bleak Arctic island.
