Denali Skies

She needed a break, a change from the ordinary, an escape to something far away from what she considers familiar. With romantic ideals and a compulsion for self discovery a lone twenty two year old woman leaves the Central Valley of California bound for Fairbanks Alaska. In Denali Skies Liz finds herself walking the line the between the call of the wild and the call of her drinking buddies! This coming of age story explores some extraordinary moments of a very ordinary girl who happens to find herself waiting tables to droves of tourists in one of the most scenic and phenomenal corners of our world. The Midnight Sun, grizzlies, and Northern Lights illuminate the landscape of a surreal and elusive journey.
