Vukas elopement in 1928 caused a major scandal in a small Adriatic port. Wise Mike, a mature sourdough, organized her voluntary kidnapping and took her on a venturesome journey to Alaska, where he had struck gold. In defying local customs and in breaking a taboo, she chose personal happiness over family constraints. She fell in love with the adventurer, endured frigid nights and freezing winds, and fully apprehended the majestic beauty of a distant frontier. The text traces the life story of this Southern Slav woman without formal education but far ahead of her time.

There is an endowment in her name at a university in California entitled the Power of Good.
