description: From the front flap of this 470-page "Raging blizzards, crimes of passion, love that blossoms in the wild Canadian North. The elements that make 'Mrs. Mike' an enduring popular classic have lost none of their sparkle since the book was first published in 1947. Along with its equally exciting sequel, 'The Search for Joyful', the story of Mrs. Mike and her extended family will continue to enthrall a new generation. When Katherine Mary O'Fallon leaves drizzly Boston for a stay with her uncle in the cold, crisp climate of Calgary, Alberta, she meets and is dazzled by dashing Sgt. Mike Flannigan, a handsome, red-coated Mounty. They marry, and set out to raise a family in a distant wilderness outpost, embarking on a journey that will bring its share of both joy and pain. With 'The Search for Joyful', the story continues through the eyes of Kathy's foster daughter, a full-blooded Cree."
