Inside the Rainbow is a rendition of true events under the skies and in the skies of old Alaska long before it became the 49th state. It features the lives of Marie, a courageous country girl and her lifelong mate, Sandy, who become teachers in the one-room rural school of the North. They had just been married and graduated from college as they headed for their first job on a remote Aleutian island. There were a lot of surprises in store. Of course, there was no electricity, no running water, no inside plumbing, no access to any professional teaching support, no medical support, no church, and no communication with the outside world accept with a mailboat that was supposed to visit once a month if Aleutian weather would permit. But worst of all, no village chief or law authority. But their students were great. They loved their teachers, were cooperative and eager to learn. All eight grades were jammed into one crowded room with the teacher’s quarters attached next to it. The first three days of school went well, but then an event happened that changed everything. There was a murder.

Marie and Sandy take off for Alaska to be teachers in the outback. Long before desegregation they attained that. Many adventurous from Sandy's point and Marie's diary.

I received this audiobook free at my request and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Sandy Sinclair's memoir of being a teacher in a secluded part of Alaska was an enthralling tale set in a time and place that I could never experience, but after listening, now feel some familiarity with the setting. Beautifully written with an intense amount of heart, this is a book that will leave you sitting in awe. David Edes does a great job with the narration, leaving the listener believing that he too experienced the adventure of Sandy and Marie.

Enthralling Memoir!

This dude paints himself a hero coming to Alaska to “educate” the natives. He’s trash. And they couldn’t even figure out how to properly say any of the town names before narrating.

Garbage
