Bookroo's summary

In the Alaskan wilderness, a young woman dreams of escape from her harsh stepmother. With the help of an eagle spirit, she attends the Silver Salmon Festival, leaving behind a fisherwoman's boot. The son of a cannery owner must find the mysterious girl who captured his heart. Will the rugged landscape and cultural traditions lead to a fairy tale ending?

From the publisher

Loosely based on “Cinderella,” this story is set in Alaska, the fairy godmother is an eagle, and the hero, the son of a cannery owner, finds his true love through her Sitka slipper, a heavy rubber boot she left at the Silver Salmon Festival.
