The Great Alone

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.

The Nightingale

In “The Nightingale,” Kristin Hannah weaves a heart-wrenching tale of two sisters in Nazi-occupied France. Vianne, struggling to protect her daughter, and Isabelle, a rebellious spirit joining the Resistance, face impossible choices. As I read, I found myself holding my breath, feeling their fear and courage. Hannah’s vivid prose transported me to war-torn villages and dark forests. This isn’t just historical fiction; it’s a powerful tribute to the unsung heroines of World War II.

The Women

In “The Women,” Kristin Hannah masterfully weaves the tale of Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a young nursing student from sunny Southern California who finds herself in the heart of the Vietnam War. As she navigates the chaos and heartbreak of the battlefield, Frankie’s journey is one of courage, friendship, and resilience. This poignant novel not only highlights the sacrifices of women in war but also their struggle to find their place in a divided America upon returning home. A deeply moving story that lingers long after the last page.
