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.

This story was heartbreaking, beautiful, frustrating, joyful, and everything in between! It made me want to visit Alaska so badly to experience it for myself! But also made me grateful for indoor plumbing and electricity lol

I absolutely enjoyed this book! It was mainly in Leni's perspective, a 13 yr old girl pulled to Alaska when her father came back from being a POW in the Vietnam War, and he came back a very different person! Leni and her mother walk on eggshells to try to keep him happy!

3.5

I love the description of Alaska, and how they lived and learned to survive there, makes me want to just go there and explore be one of the "tourist". I gave it only a 3.5, though, because I find some parts of the story cumbersome and unnecessary already. I almost DNF when the chief Curt arrested her, although I kind of knew it already.. so some parts are also predictable. It's also forced to be complicated and have some events that were too unrealistic for me.
