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!

Kristin Hannah is a wonderful writer but this one is really hard to get through, really heavy, even gruesome at times.
