Imagine your best friend just moved to Alaska and has invited you to visit. She throws a log on the fire, pours you a glass of wine, and you each grab a corner of the couch. She then proceeds to tell you about her new life in Wasilla, Alaska. If you live in the North, her tales may have a familiar ring to them, but how about if you're a Southerner, more at home barefooted and strolling the beach than clad in mukluks and tromping through snow?Price's "Southern Breezes" meets "Northern Exposure" experiences are sometimes comical, often serious, and reveal a strange mix of bewitched and bewildered as she tackles her new environment where the moose roam free. Grab that glass of wine, put another log on the fire and curl up with this wonderful account of "Becoming Alaskan" and trading flip flops and the crash of waves on the sand for mukluks and the sound of snow crashing off the roof.
