THE GREAT ALONE by Kristin Hannah

Thirteen-year-old Leni Allbright never gets the chance to belong. Her family moves from place to place at the whim of her father, Ernt. Her mother, Cora, is a woman determined to heal her husband, who is a recently-returned Vietnam veteran emotionally scarred by the war. At the loss of yet another job, Ernt uproots his family again and heads to Alaska’s wild frontier.

Leni and Cora are unprepared for the weather, isolation, and harsh, primitive conditions. Still, they are welcomed by the close-knit community and build a home and a life in the beautiful wilderness.

The struggling family in crisis faces challenges that have the highest of stakes—ones that can tear family and community apart. Will the bonds of love survive? Will Leni find a place to belong?
