This story takes you on a wonderful Night Safari ride with Siberian Huskies. It captures the essence of the Aurora Borealis and transports you into the magical world of northern Finland.

What a reviewer said: “Rebecka Jager paints a picture with words in her short story “A Touch of Heaven”. I shivered while reading her description of arctic weather while sitting inside on an August day in Florida where it’s too hot to venture outside. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to see the Aurora Borealis, and now I feel I have seen it in my mind’s eye. I especially loved the portrayal of the relationship between the sled dogs and their alpha female human leader. I hope this story is the introduction to a longer work. I want to read more.”
