Tisha: The Wonderful True Love Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaskan Wilderness

Written by Robert Specht

At just nineteen, Anne Hobbs leaves Colorado in 1927 to teach in the remote gold-mining settlement of Chicken, Alaska. Amid the snow and mining camps, she faces freezing skies, rugged terrain and the strong winds of prejudice—especially when she opens her classroom to Native children and begins a love affair with a man of mixed heritage. Her brave stand for equality, her love and the wilderness she calls home make this a powerful memoir of courage, teaching and heart.
