Summary
Ada Blackjack wants one thing: To make enough money to bring her son home from an orphanage. But good work is hard to find in 1920s Nome, Alaska, so when four strangers come to town, looking to hire someone for a secret yearlong expedition, Ada embarks on the trip—not knowing that she’ll be the only one of them to survive. Featuring guest Sarah Marshall of You’re Wrong About. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
