概要
Set against the rugged beauty of the northern woods, the heartwarming first novel by columnist Carrie Classon explores how chosen family can sweeten bitterness into surprising joy.
Alone in the Northwoods, Norry Last settles in for another springtime lull at the remote resort she inherited from her father. She’s content with the solitude, maybe resigned. But when a blizzard hits, those little cabins by the lake start to fill up fast.
First to arrive is Lizzie, an eight-year-old with resilience and wisdom beyond her years, neglected by a mother struggling with addiction. Next comes Wendell, a cantankerous old fellow whose house collapses in the storm, the same way hope collapsed inside him long before. And then there’s Bud, the helpful handyman who’s always buzzing around, his kindness thawing something Norry thought she’d buried deep in the Minnesota snow.
As white melts to green, The Last Resort’s unlikely companions learn to share space, stories, and quiet comforts—an unexpected family that makes perfect sense. After all, Lizzie needs to be cared for. Wendell needs to care. Norry needs to open up. And Bud? Bud just might fix everything.

"Aasne Vigesaa tells the story of Norry Last, owner of the Last Resort. Vigesaa gives her a friendly voice as she opens her resort, and eventually, her heart, to unexpected 'lost souls' blown in by a late-season blizzard. Handyman Bud's calming, patient Minnesota accent brings comfort. Malcom Hilgartner captures Wendell's self-pitying attitude as he finds himself a resident of the Last Resort after his house collapses around him. Hilgartner's voice reflects Wendall's journey from judgmental hermit to grateful neighbor. Kate Coventry realistically captures 8-year-old Lizzie's fear, hope, and optimism and her mother's impatience and frustration with life. This life-affirming story is made real by three extraordinary narrators."—Kirkus Audiobook Reviews
