The Great Alone is the most memorable winter-themed book that has stayed with me since first reading it. And the results are both beautiful and devastating. Leni befriends a local boy and, as a brutal winter approaches, these characters face a string of utterly traumatic events as dark and cold as the Alaskan Winter itself. He impulsively decides to move to Alaska, where he, his wife Cora, and his teen daughter Leni will live in America’s last frontier, fighting for survival both literally and figuratively. Ernt is a former Prisoner of War, who returns home from the Vietnam War with PTSD. The Great Alone transports the reader to Alaska in 1974 for a harrowingly epic story of resilience.
