About This Book
This unique ghost story, set above the polar circle in northern Norway, will take you into the mountain realm of eagles, and an angel.Michael, a disillusioned misfit from Florida, moves to Norway to begin a new life. With a teaching job at a college, he rents an old two-story log house on the shore of a fjord . . . and soon discovers that the upper floor is inhabited by the spirit of a young woman who died of consumption in 1917. Anna Sofia agrees to guide Michael, who has never seen snow in flat Florida, into the mountain wilderness which she loved as a girl. As they climb high above the timberline, as they bid farewell to the sun before months of winter darkness, as they skate on a mountain lake beneath the northern lights, and ski near a herd of reindeer, Anna Sofia leads Michael deeper into the wilderness, deeper into himself. The bitter boy is left behind; the clear-eyed man is emerging.Anna Sofia tells Michael that her dream is to stand on a mountain peak at midnight in June, when the summer sun will shine in the sky due north. But at that moment, she must leave him. He will lose the woman he deeply loves, and he will have to climb down that mountain alone.Michael will take with him, however, Anna Sofia's final gift: a powerful purpose in his life, and the confidence that he can harness the sun . . . as he builds a far better future for today's polluted Earth.This unique ebook contains 97 gorgeous photographs which follow the story chapter by chapter.
