Doesn't exactly match with your description but I found this title while searching.
Your Alaskan Daughter by Harriet Walker
Harriet Walker was born to adventure. Raised by missionary parents in Sierra Leone, Africa, she married a man who had his heart set on life in the Alaska wilderness. In 1953, three months pregnant, she drove with him over the bone-jarring AlCan Highway to a tiny village on the northern coast of the Kenai Peninsula. Her stories of everyday life under extraordinary circumstances are told through a series of letters to her mother, family, and friends.

I think this book is O Rugged Land of Gold by Martha Martin.
"Share the triumph and fear of a woman -- alone, injured, and pregnant -- stranded on a remote Alaska island in winter. Her husband fails to return from a trip, leaving her to survive a winter and give birth at their cabin, alone. This true story is hard to put down."
