During one of his absences, in which he has gone to drink, wolves attack the Allbrights’ animals and kill all their livestock. His nightmares resume, and he begins drinking heavily and arguing with Cora. The turn of the weather also brings with it a decline in Ernt’s mental health. However, the cruel winter soon tests Leni’s friendship with Matthew when his mother, Geneva, dies.
Leni herself discovers her first friendship with Matthew Walker, son of one of the oldest homesteading families in Kaneq. They also receive help from the general store owner, Large Marge. Ernt finds a kindred soul in Mad Earl, father to the friend who gave Ernt land, and the Allbrights become close to his family.
Life in Alaska is more difficult than the Allbrights expected, but they find their place in the Kaneq community.
