Beside Still Waters

Alaskan Waters Series, Book 3

By: AnnaLee Conti

Narrated by: Kimberly Worthy

Is she jumping from a city firetrap into a wilderness icebox?

Violet Channing, orphaned at a young age, is tossed about by life’s turbulent waters when the aunt who raised her dies. She wants nothing more than to be a schoolteacher. So, while living in a Boston tenement in 1915, barely able to survive, she accepts a job as a live-in teacher for a sick child in the harsh Yukon Territory.

Sailing up the Inside Passage of Alaska, she falls in love with a dashing Yukon riverboat captain. Just when her life feels as beautiful as her new surroundings, tragedy strikes again.

Can Violet allow her losses to make her better, not bitter, and learn to love again, in this continuing saga of the love, tragedy, and second chances of a Norwegian immigrant family who must battle the beautiful but often dangerous waters of early 20th century Southeast Alaska?

Great series

Loved the history and the focus on faith. Was able to list in a road trip and even kept my teenager intrigued.

Historical fiction

A beautiful Christian story of love, loss and restoration. The narrator distracted from the story for me a bit, but I enjoy historical fiction and this book was full of interesting facts about Alaska in the early 1900’s.
