The story telling style is in the same tradition as Mary Lassiter's Suds in Your Eye and Betty McDonald's The Egg and I.'

'I think I read this as an adolescent and was just as enthralled as I am now with a spunky young woman who leaves home for the Canadian wilderness of the early 1900's, falls in love with a mounty, follows her husband into the alternately frozen or mosquito ridden outback. Together, he and his beloved Kathy manage to live a good, honest life in this harsh, unforgiving land and to find strength in a love as beautiful and compelling as the wilderness around them.

Mike Flannigan, standing over six feet tall, with “eyes so blue you could swim in them,” is a well-respected sergeant in the Canadian Mounted Police and a man of great courage, kindness, and humor. Recently arrived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, after a long, hard journey from Boston, sixteen-year-old Katherine Mary O’Fallon never imagined that she could lose her heart so easily or so completely. It brings the fierce, stunning landscape of Canada to life and tenderly evokes the love that blossoms between Sergeant Mike Flannigan and beautiful young Katherine Mary O’Fallon. Mike is a classic tale that has enchanted millions of readers worldwide.
