But with time, Joni began a deeply personal relationship with God. As a result of this new direction, she formed the organization called Joni and Friends to minister to the spiritual and physical welfare of the disabled. She also pursued her artistic gifts, began recording worship songs, learned to drive a specially adapted vehicle, and was married to Ken Tada.

As Adam Christian graduates from the famous Sitka Industrial and Training School, he dreams of one day becoming famous—like Dr. Sheldon Jackson, who started the school. The last thing Adam wants to do is return to his dull life in northern Alaska, so he asks Dr. Jackson if he can join him on his 1897 expedition to the Yukon to rescue hundreds of starving gold miners. Surprisingly, Dr. Jackson agrees, and eager to say good-bye to his home and his people, Adam sets off on what he hopes will be the adventure of a lifetime.
