From the moment Ruth Sanders rips the glossy photo of a glacier from a magazine, she believes herself fated by ice. Her fascination bewilders sixteen-year-old Sylvie, unsettled already by her father s leaving. When Ruth s obsession grows to encompass a man, she uproots Sylvie and her sister from their small Midwestern town to follow him to Alaska.
