The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah had me completely hooked—I couldn’t put it down. Set in the rugged, untamed wilderness of 1970s Alaska, the story is a gripping tale of survival and resilience, both mental and physical. At its heart is the powerful bond between a mother and daughter, navigating a harsh landscape and an even harsher reality. The novel also shines a light on the struggles of Vietnam War veterans, exploring the lasting impact of PTSD and the challenges their families face when mental health support is scarce. |
