Vast isolation

Ernt Allbright makes the decision to move with his family to Alaska to live in that remote place, far from everything, even from the painful past that burdens him as a former prisoner of war. He returns from the Vietnam War with psychological scars that will not heal. In that place, unlike any other, where survival is a decision that must be made again and again, Lenora tries to learn who she is. She must learn how to stay alive and love as she faces immense dangers in the small cabin that make the dangers of the outside world pale in comparison. What will that place on the edge of civilization leave in her memory and soul? And how will she survive? In "The Great Alone," Kristin Hannah presents an unforgettable portrait of human strength and resilience, telling a story of love, loss, and the struggle for survival and the wildness that lies within both man and nature.
