Wow. Another amazing story from Kristin Hannah. She has a way of telling stories that leave you completely enthralled and captivated the entire time. I felt like I knew Lenny and her family by the end of the story. I would recommend to anyone interested in any of Kirstin’s novels. She is a very talented writer. I felt like I was in Alaska - experiencing the story with the characters.

Such an emotional story and it went in a direction that I was not expecting! This deals with some tough themes throughout and really hard things happen to the characters, but there is a glimmer of hope at the end. I listened on audio - this was my first time listening to Julia Whelan and I am officially a fan! Fantastic narration and impersonation of characters!
