About this listen

After eighteen years of a quaint childhood in rural Minnesota, Darcy yearned for a life beyond the confines of her small town. In 1978, an opportunity as radiant as the Land of the Midnight Sun beckoned: a chance to work and play in Melozi Hot Springs alongside her childhood best friend. Amidst the breathtaking wilderness, they forged bonds through hard work, risky business, and personal growth.

In the perpetual daylight of June, where the sun never sets, Alaskans brace themselves for the harsh winter ahead by toiling day and night, gathering supplies and chopping wood. During an ambitious hike to the Yukon River, Darcy and her companions found themselves pursued by a grizzly bear—a perilous journey that forced them to confront the boundaries of human tenacity.

From serving meals in the rugged hills of Fairbanks to relishing unconventional delicacies like beaver tail, and even sharing a cabin with a pet moose, their adventures epitomized the resilience and spirit of Alaska's frontier people. Each escapade etched indelible memories and forged unbreakable bonds, shaping Darcy's understanding of the Last Frontier and leaving an enduring mark on her heart.
