The Great Alone….Alaska 
Alaska is a magical state but a deadly one as well, it will bring your true self out.
In this beautiful novel that tells you the story of two women,Cora and her daughter Leni, their story about travelling from state to state till they found the meaning of home finally in Alaska, how they adapted and changed from just a mother and her daughter to survivors. And their journey to break free from Ernt the husband and father who came back from the war in Vietnam with unrecognized and untreated PTSD  that created a monster at the end.
You will finish The Great Alone with a hidden love inside your heart for Alaska and a longing to go to this wild state.
