"The adventures of a young Canadian nurse who lived and worked for several years in the Canadian Arctic providing health care to the Inuit people. The stories you are about to read took place more than forty years ago; before Anik satellite, when Iqaluit was Frobisher Bay, Inuit were Eskimo and there was still the Eastern Arctic and the Western Arctic. The law had just been changed to allow for birth control teaching and Ampicillan came on the market. The Aboriginal people had no diabetes, there was no HIV, the cold war was still raging and man had not yet walked on the moon." -- Book jacket.
