In 1971, Kat Mission, recently divorced, headstrong and independent, packs her belongings, her geology degree, and her five-month-old daughter in her old pickup and drives to Alaska seeking adventure and a better life. She hears of a hardscrabble mining camp deep in the Isabel Pass that needs a cook. Awed by her surroundings, Kat has found a home. After tragedy and betrayal, the small company faces collapse. Kat offers a solution, and moves into an arena dominated by men. Then Kat meets a man whose love and patience is challenged by her stubborn determination and misplaced loyalties. By 1975, the Alaska oil pipeline changes everything, and tens of thousands of people flood the state for high-paying jobs. During the boom, lawlessness and greed create excitement and danger. Survival is key: surviving her own hardheadedness, the wilderness, injury, a bear attack, cabin fever, two shootings, and a raging blizzard that traps her in the middle of a frozen river in the Isabel Pass.
