Description
The Great Alone is a heart-wrenching novel about a family's desperate search for a new beginning in the remote wilderness of Alaska. In 1974, Ernt Allbright returns home from the Vietnam War a changed man, and with him, his wife and daughter are forced to confront the unpredictable nature of human relationships.
As they settle into their new life off the grid, the Allbrights face a harsh reality: their fragile mental state and dwindling resources are threatened by the perils of the wilderness and the secrets that Ernt keeps from his family. Against this backdrop of isolation and uncertainty, 13-year-old Leni must navigate the treacherous waters of her parents' passionate and stormy relationship.
As the long, sunlit days give way to the darkness of winter, the Allbrights are forced to confront the terrible truth: they are on their own. This is a powerful and emotional novel about the resilience of the human spirit, and the devastating consequences of the choices we make.
