The story talked about the childless old couple who lived in Alaska. It was slow but in a good way because they showed us their little life. 

the story is good. It talks about grieving, how they cope up with it, and their healing. However, I’m quite taken a back at Garrett’s part because I didn’t really expect that haha. Also, it’s so mysterious and I love how the questions were all answered at the last part.

Overall, it was a peaceful and quiet read for me. It made me want to also live in the woods, away from city and create my own little cabin.

Incredibly sad and real depiction of a failing marriage that is brought back to life. A good read, but rarely a happy one

I loved this book! It's my first by this author, but I love her style, and I too find Alaska to be beautiful and also scary. I loved all the characters in this book and the way the little family took hold in the Alaskan wilderness.
