Product Description
From Amazon
Anne Hobbs is a prim and proper 19-year-old schoolteacher who yearns for adventure. She finds this and much more in a town with the unlikely name of Chicken, located deep in the Alaskan interior. It is 1927 and Chicken is a wild mining community flaming with gold fever. Anne quickly makes friends with many of the townspeople, but is soon ostracized when she not only befriends the local Indians but also falls in love with one. A heartwarming story in the tradition of Benedict Freedman's classic, Mrs. Mike, Tisha is one of those rare books that stays with the reader for years, beckoning to be read again and again. --Maudeen Wachsmith

This review is from: Tisha: The Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaska Wilderness (Hardcover)
I only bought this book as a keepsake of my tour of alaska and the yukon.deciding to browse through it on my return home i was soon absorbed in the book yet other than my chistian magazines and the bible i never read anything. From then on i continued the story at every chance i got. I pictured myself there with her in the situations she exsperienced she was so brave and right to stand up for what she believed. By the time i finished the book i had been in tears several times at the lives and living conditions of the people. an amazing book only wished i had looked for more on the same lines .But trisha is one i will never forget.

My all time favorite book,
By Maxine J. Leroy (Fowler, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tisha: The Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaska Wilderness (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought a copy of this book which was copyrighted in 1976 and my book seems to be from the first printing. As all of the other reviews say, it is about a young girl who goes to Alaska to teach school. It is spellbinding. One thing that I thought was interesting is that on the flyleaf of my book it says that the author is writing a sequel, but apparently that never happened. I just re-read the book and saw that comment and that is the reason I got on the web to see if there was a sequel. I wish there had been on.

This review is from: Tisha: The Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaska Wilderness (Mass Market Paperback)
My eighth grade reading teacher suggested this book to me 15 years ago. I've read it every year since then, my copy is completely worn out! A wonderful FEEL GOOD book.
