Mell Stewart doesn't really believe in the ancient Aleutian legends. Desperation keeps her dogged footsteps on the treacherous wilderness trail to the mummy's cave. The outcast she encounters at the entrance seems an unlikely hero, but during the dangerous months to come this modern day 'Outside Man' helps Mell find the courage to conquer her fears.

Cora's first book details her remote life. If you subscribe to Country, you already know Cora Holmes, her husband Milt and her two sons. They're the Alaska sheep ranchers who live on an island so remote, their nearest neighbor is 85 miles away. They have no phone, radio or TV, and they receive mail only four or five times a year. After several stories appeared about them in Country, hundreds of subscribers wrote asking for more detail, and Cora happily complied -- with this color-photo-filled book.

You'll learn how Cora traded the stress of her nursing job in Boise, Idaho for her life in a wild and desolate place in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska where the Bering Sea is the front yard.

Living on a remote island ranch (no phone, no radio, no TV -- her closest neighbor is 85 miles away), she met readers' demand for a second edition. Thousands of readers "met" Cora Holmes and her family through the pages of Cora's first book, the the best-selling Goodbye, Boise...Hello, Alaska.

In the years since Cora's first book came out, the Country Store office has been Flooded questions, comments and pleas to publish another book by our favorite Alaskan pioneer and her family.

"Whatever happened to your lamb, Peep-Sheep?", subscribers asked. Or, "How did Chernofski get its name?" Or, "Are you and Milt ever going to retire?" And -- the question received most often -- "When is Cora going to write another book?"
