101 books614 followersAlthough born in New Orleans, I am proud to call myself an Alaskan. I have lived here for 37 years, I have survived -40 degrees, hauled water, made bear bacon and live in a cabin. I used a fish wheel to catch salmon coming up the Copper River. I was my second husband's chief mechanic's helper and only roadie. I cut firewood on shares, worked as a cocktail waitress, then as a paralegal for over 26 years. I hold the #80 press card as a reporter for the Copper Valley Views newspaper which ceased publication in the 1980s. I've been writing stories since junior high. Retired now, I can devote my time to what I love.
I came to Alaska by way of Arizona and California. I experienced the building of the pipeline up close. Then my second husband and I moved to Wasilla to get warm. It hardly ever drops past -25 in South Central Alaska. I never thought I would love it so much I never want to leave. The beauty of Alaska is a draw I cannot resist. I love the people and the history. I have been captured by a place I came to under duress. Life does play some interesting tricks on one. I lost my first husband to alcohol. My second husband, the love of my life died as a result of disease. We were not apart more than 24 hours for 20 plus years . I never wanted to be anywhere but with him. He was a man to run the river with.

Mile 43.3 Richardson Highway is truly the highway to love!!!
Nancy, a kind hearted and loving woman followed Dave, the man she thought she loved it to the wilderness of Alaska to raise a family. He left her stranded in a cold and barren land because he was a quitter and a coward. Nancy prevailed. She's a survivor and a fighter. Through a mother vehicle accident that happened on mile marker 43.3 she meet her future in Ramon Delgaria, a single father working the Alaskan pipeline to give his son a good education. Their love was not easy, it had trials and tribulations, that led them to the promise land of a happily ever after. What a sweet and beautiful story. I cried, I got angry and I laughed out loud!! I highly recommend this book!! Kudos to author Cherime MacFarlane!!! 5 stars all the way!

This was a truly enjoyable read. Not your typical romance, this book is set in rural Alaska in the 1970's. Nancy is struggling and when an accident brings her and single dad Ray together, she gets an interesting romance she never expected. The writing is wonderful, the setting so vivid and magical, and it's a plot you can really sink your teeth into. I loved the author's writing style and found the characters to be relatable and real. I flew through the pages, eager to see how the story progressed and changed at every time. This is a must read for romance fans. I'm can't wait to see what other books Cherime MacFarlane has to offer!

More than meets the eye
Mile 43.3 Richardson Highway is a great tearful read. It will have you crying one minute, and cheering the next. I would have rated this a 5, if it weren't for some grammatical errors. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a sweet love story, and strong female lead character.
