Whiteout ….
I started this book with high expectations because I’ve been fortunate enough to be in the Arctic due to work during spring, summer, and fall seasons
Only the tough can survive there
The Inuit and native people are true Arctic warriors
This book had my attention drawn to it right from the let go and it hard to put down
I’m very impressed and interested in the story from the beginning

I’ve felt myself attached like literally attached to very few books
This is one of them
The story
The plot the location
Perfect just perfect
Really enjoyed it
