1974. Leni is thirteen years old, and her father has recently returned from the Vietnam War. He returned completely different from before—angry at the world, confused, and broken. Soon, he inherits a small plot of land in a land almost devoid of people, filled only with beautiful, albeit harsh, nature—Alaska. Soon, Leni and her parents set off for this mysterious and unknown world. At first, Alaska seems to fulfill all their hopes and expectations.

In this wild land, they find a community of strong men and even stronger women. But winter approaches, and darkness and cold slowly descend upon Alaska, turning her father into a wild beast. And what began as an adventure turns into a tragedy. Leni and her mother are about to discover that Alaska is not only beautiful but also terrifying, that it can save or destroy. In this land, every day forces a person to choose between life and death. In this wilderness, on the very edge of civilization, a person understands their true worth.

1978. Leni is now a grown woman, she has adapted to the wilderness, fallen in love with it, and become one of its own. Love has entered her life, and she dreams of the future. But the past holds her tightly, refusing to let go. And the drama quickly devolves into tragedy.

Kristin Hannah's new novel is a family saga of incredible intensity, full of turbulent events and powerful emotions. This love story and almost Shakespearean drama unfold against the backdrop of the beautiful Alaskan landscape.
