Product Description
A moving love story set in the Canadian wilderness, Mrs. Mike is a classic tale that has enchanted millions of readers worldwide. It brings the fierce, stunning landscape of the Great North to life-and tenderly evokes the love that blossoms between Sergeant Mike Flannigan and beautiful young Katherine Mary O'Fallon.
"It is the personality of Sgt. Mike blowing through this account like a clear breeze that gives it a refreshing quality. Everyone's dream of a cop, he was also a romantic and understanding husband, the fondest of fathers; a man of honor and humor." (New York Times)
"Mrs. Mike...is the story of the start of young love, its growth to maturity, and its acceptance of a dangerous, hard, but enthralling life." (Los Angeles Herald-Express)

FOND MEMORIES January 5, 2009
I have such fond memories of Mrs. Mike. I have purchased it as a gift for the 13-year-old daughter of a friend for Christmas. I know she will enjoy it as much as I did when I was her age. When I was 12 years old our teacher would each day, just after lunch, read us an excerpt from Mrs. Mike. We always looked forward to the story and what was going to happen next. I am no longer 12; I am 62, and the teacher is now 84. I see her often in the town in which we both still live. And we have often mentioned this book to each other. She has said that many of her students from those days have commented to her on the book through the years about how much they had enjoyed it. I was so delighted to see a few years ago that it had been re-published so I could read it again.
Thank you.
A book you will never put down! January 4, 2009
As is mentioned in the introduction by the authors, all you need do is glance at the comments made by instant fans to know that this is a book you will never put down. It is a compelling story of a woman whose travails speak to the heart of anyone who has longed for adventure and suffered through hardship.
Refreshingly real but romantic January 1, 2009
If you liked Anne of Green Gables or These is My Words, you will like this book. The main character comes to age in the Canadian wilderness and finds love. When heartache comes, her decision to survive is admirable and encouraging. A strong, graceful woman, Mrs. Mike will remind you of some of your best girlfriends.
 An Amazing Tale of Canadian History (Alberta in early 1900's) November 12, 2008
This is the 2nd time I've read this saga of an ailing young woman who is sent by her Boston immigrant family in 1907 (or so) to her uncle who is pioneering on a farm not far from Calgary, Alberta, to recover her health. Her indomitable spirit in the wilderness makes a wonderful true tale of the peoples who lived in this part of the world at that time -- the native peoples, the immigrants, the "characters", the nuns, the wildlife, the winters, all wonderfully portrayed. I loved it 30 years ago, and I loved it again in 2008.
A Beautiful Story November 5, 2008
This is a wonderfully written book. It won't take long before feel that you know the characters and are part of their world. It's not that often that I'm really drawn into a book to the point of laughing and crying with those the story is about. Half way through I went out and bought the next book.
