The Ice Child - Hardcover

Young journalist Jo Harper - successful and single - is sent to investigate the disappearance of arctic explorer Doug Marshall. At first disinterested, she becomes keener on learning about his adventures and passion for the 1847 Franklin expedition; even more so when he is found alive and she becomes attracted to him. The story of Jo's life is interspersed with chilling accounts from the 1847 expedition, which makes for a beautifully written epic women's read. Despite the age gap, Jo and Doug form a relationship, which is cut short when Doug is involved in a tragic accident. The Ice Child is their son Sam, who was born after the accident and then falls seriously ill. Jo has to battle alone against time to save him. Parallels unfold between the last days facing the Franklin crew and the crisis facing baby Sam. McGregor, an award-winning short story writer and author of six psychological thrillers, has changed direction and written an incredibly dramatic story of hope, courage and love.

"The Ice Child" is a story of hope, courage and love.
