Literature and Fiction
A pair of siblings escapes—along with a Siberian Husky—the
strictures of their 1950s industrial Ohio town on the
adventure of a lifetime. Talented high-school senior Donna Lane yearns to leave her
Midwestern home in pursuit of a career in design, but she
feels obligated to stay and care for her helpless father and
her younger brother, Will. In fragile health and obsessed
with the television show Sergeant Striker and the Alaskan
Wild, Will’s dearest companion is a mute Siberian Husky
named Trusty. The arrival of two outsiders inspires Donna to
consider her dreams anew. Then Will falls sick, and Donna
packs up their yellow convertible—with Will, Trusty, and a
road atlas—and sets off for the Alaskan Territory. A
portrait of a singular American moment, My One Square Inch
of Alaska is a moving tale of exploration and love—human and
canine—that dares to believe the impossible.
