Kristina's Cache

When Kristina Ahlnäs moves from Finland to Alaska to start a new life as an American oceanographer, her life is clearly more than normal. In this quirky memoir, Kristina recalls unique experiences in her job, to seeing UFOs in the Alaskan sky and even building her own log cabin. This easy-to-read, spunky book allows readers to slip into a world where its so cold cars don't start, finding some warm place to stay is near impossible, and friends will do anything to help each other. Travel with Kristina from Finland to Alaska where she starts off paying a rent of $220 a month, to sleeping in a tent as she builds her 8 by 8 foot practice cabin with a 16-foot ladder (the cache), the log cabin, and life, she could only dream of in Kristina's Cache.
