Since I must assume, Author Julie Rowe didn't herself fly into Antarctica and get get lost in white out conditions, I must conclude she did amazing research.  From the opening pages, we are swept into Dr. Emilie Saunderson's story of escaping her grief and the loss of her child, she decides to carry on her late husband's work.  Here she meets paramedic and station manager, Tom Wolinski, South Pole Station Manager.  The chemistry between Saunderson and Wolinski is immediate, as Emilie becomes hopelessly turned around in deadly, blizzarding conditions, even though she's only a few feet from the base.Rowe does an amazing job of describing how cold it is even wearing three-layers of Mount Everest-worthy clothing.  A love story in such a captivating setting, readers are in for an educational treat, as I imagine, not many of us will ever go there.  Thank you, Ms. Rowe.
