The Great Alone

Author: Kristin Hannah

Leni Allbright’s world turns upside down when her father, a volatile Vietnam vet, uproots the family to the wilds of Alaska. At thirteen, she’s thrust into a harsh, unforgiving landscape where survival is a daily challenge. As winter descends and her father’s demons resurface, Leni finds solace in the rugged beauty of her surroundings and the tight-knit community. But when darkness threatens to consume them all, she must find the strength to forge her own path. A gripping tale of resilience, love, and the indomitable human spirit against nature’s raw power.

“Were you ever out in the Great Alone, when the moon was awful clear, And the icy mountains hemmed you in with a silence you most could hear?”
