Based on real family history, the real Lowell family of California become enormously wealthy at the Klondike gold rush in Alaska. Generations later two young members of the family are asked to return to Alaska and make right an injustice that occurred back then. I wasn't really into this story until the native people involved reject their offer which raises the question of what might be real retribution to any people who suffered at the hands of privilege. Unlikeable characters, unexceptional writing, thought provoking history - a 6 out of 10.
