Written and read by Jessica Watson, this is the story of a remarkable girl who followed her dream and conquered the world. There is something different about adventurers, about the way their minds work. They look at the world as a place of challenges and though they know what fear is, they refuse to be hindered by it.

I kissed my brother’s best friend when I was 15, right before he left for basic training. He didn’t kiss me back. Fourteen years have gone by since I’ve been home. I heard he’s back but haven’t wanted to face him. But when my grandma fractures her ankle and needs in-home physical therapy, I can’t say no. Caribou Creek is too small to avoid running into Zac Ashburn. Especially since my brother works at his brewery. He’s even hotter and more tempting than I remember. It doesn’t matter that I’m dealing with my own mini-life crisis. I know my heart is in trouble. Stupid heart.

When I left Alaska to chase my dreams, I never thought I’d be back. But when Grandma Rose summons my sisters and me, it’s a matter of life and death I can’t ignore. Even if it means possibly running into the man whose heart I broke when I left. The only man I’ve ever truly loved. Any hopes of avoiding Mason Reid are quickly demolished when he turns out to be the pilot I hired to fly me to Caribou Creek. And avoiding the past? Impossible when an emergency landing strands us in the Alaskan wilderness.

After ending a toxic relationship, I’m ready for a fresh start. When an opportunity to be a kindergarten teacher in Caribou Creek arises, I don’t think twice. I pack my bags and go. After that turbulent relationship, I’m determined to stay single and focus on myself. But my resolve is tested when I meet my incredibly attractive landlord, Wes Ashburn. For months, I keep my distance from the sexy brew master. But when a leak springs under my kitchen sink that I can’t fix, I’m forced to call him.

I’ve been in love with my grumpy, sexy boss for three years. It’s an embarrassingly long time to hold a candle for someone. It’s clear I’m not Ben Ashburn’s type. It’s time for me to move on. But when he tells me we’re headed to an out-of-town festival to represent the brewery, I make a bold decision. I’m going to tell him how I feel before we come home. Well, I was going to tell him. Until he invites my grandma to come with us. Awkward much? wonder if he realized Grams would try to play matchmaker? Extra awkward.
