The Heart of Alaska

The Heart of Alaska is set around the Curry Hotel and the developing Alaska Railroad in the 1920s, when rail travel and national-park tourism were opening the country around Denali to increasing numbers of visitors. The interconnected novels follow hotel staff, guides, naturalists and travellers whose arrival at the remote resort brings old mysteries and unresolved trauma into a close community.

Written by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse, the series combines romance, family drama and suspense with the dangers of mountain travel and frontier medicine. Its historical background includes President Warren G. Harding’s Alaska journey, the completion of the railroad and the changing relationship between wilderness, tourism and modern development.
