On Ice by J.D. Faver

5.0

June Faver has a new fan and I just might squee on her FB page to prove it. On Ice isn amazing story filled with rich settings and--ohmigod, the characters! TJ, Terrence, Honeybee, Ben...I loved them all. After years of abuse, Rene finally decides to leave her Houston husband, with some help from her sister, and travels with her children to the wilds of Alaska. Once there, Rene transforms from terrified mouse to a woman with the strength and spirit of a bear. Most of the story flips between the POVs of Rene and her sister Maddy, as one rebuilds her life and the other avoids the vicious husband, but there are a few scenes with secondary characters. What makes this story so incredible is the detail of the Alaskan wilderness (I want to go now) and the unique personalities that the reader grows to know and love. If you'll excuse me, I have an author's backlist to buy.
