Chris's Reviews > Tisha: The Wonderful True Love Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaskan Wilderness

Not great writing, but fascinating documentation of time, place, attitudes - particularly racism against indigenous peoples of the north. I'd hoped to learn more about life in the "Indian camp," but that wasn't Hobbs' story. Typical of the time, I suppose, that when our protagonist decides she wants to adopt two "half-breeds" it doesn't occur to her to seek permission from their people. And enlightening to note that she had the most success as a parent when she stopped trying to make those kids act white.

Highly educational book - and at times quite a page turner too.
