My Soul is in the Sky — Susan Hart

When an alien anthropologist arrives in a secluded area of Canada, she readies herself for a study of Earth. With her humanoid form, she easily blends in, concealing a few alien traits. She adopts the name Alice. Her species follows a strict non-interference policy, so she moves forward carefully. She hides her spacecraft in the wilderness and ventures out equipped with items from the year 2025, which she finds intriguing. She selects Canada in order to steer clear of the political unrest following a recent U.S. election — aiming to observe human culture without any complications.
