A Sacred Place
A Sacred Place is a continuation of the Northern Lights series and follows the adventures of Anna Dunnak’s granddaughter in early twentieth century Alaska. It will take more than luck to survive a brutal Alaskan winter while stranded on a remote Aleutian island.
A Sacred Place
As World War I breaks out, the arranged marriage of Mary Matroona, an 18-year-old Aleut girl, to Sean Calhoun, an Irish immigrant, begins a story of enduring human spirit and the power of love to break through every barrier.
This young couple, strangers to each other, settles on an island called Unalga, located on the remote eastern rim of the Aleutian Chain of Alaska. As their adventure begins, so do their troubles and struggles, but as the months roll by, they discover their own strengths and weaknesses, a need to know God, and their love for one another. Stranded with few supplies, attacks from a poacher, and nearly losing each other to death, they discover something sacred on Unalga.

“This author did an excellent job in portraying the Alaskan life. What makes this story more sweet is the fact that it is about the authors grandparents and true events that really did happen. For example, the main 2 character were stranded on an Alaskan island for the winter. Easy read and easy to get into. Highly recommend this book.”

- Shirley DeJong
“Bonnie Leon paints the pages of "A Sacred Place" with skillful insight. Drawing upon her rich family history, Bonnie's tale is carried upon all the faith-shaking emotional drama of an arranged marriage, the aching suspense of wilderness survival, the physical and spiritual stretching of two lives dependent upon the other, and the eery horror of learning they are less than alone on the island upon which they must remain. A must read, the enduring lessons of this journey will stay with the reader long after the book is shelved.”

"In a Scared Place the author has captured the incredible hardships of the far north and described the setting so vividly the reader can feel the cold and terror of being so isolated. The growth in the character of the 2 main people is skillfully developed while keeping the reader's attention and showing how God can transform someone who is afraid to love."
