Lenora moves to Alaska on a whim with her mom and dad. Moving to Alaska unprepared is basically a death sentence, especially if your dad is an unstable Vietnam veteran with severe PTSD from being a POW. When humans and nature can be equally dangerous, it makes for a tense story.
I'd recommend this for readers who liked Where the Crawdads Sing. It's set in a secluded environment, features toxic parents, and two protagonists are teenagers in love. For a similar book that's more on the thriller side, I'd recommend These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant.
