Title: The Great Alone
Author: Kristin Hannah
Genre: Fiction, Historical Fiction
This book is as much a love letter to Alaska as it is a tale about a teenage girl named Lenore and her parents. Lenore's dad, Ernt, suffers from PTSD after surviving being a POW in Vietnam. Still devoted to Ernt, Leni's mom Cora refuses to leave Ernt as he becomes increasingly unstable. When they move to Alaska for a new start, all of them will be tested by the beautiful, but harsh, climate within and without. Will they all survive the great alone?
