Kristin Hanna: With Life Alone

1974. Leni is thirteen years old, and her father has recently returned from the Vietnam War. He came back completely changed — angry at the whole world, confused, and broken. Soon after, he inherits a small plot of land where there are almost no people, where there is only beautiful, albeit harsh, nature — in Alaska. Before long, Leni and her parents set off for this mysterious and unknown world. At first, it seems that Alaska meets all their hopes and expectations. In this wild land, they find a community of strong men and even stronger women. But winter is approaching, and darkness and cold slowly descend upon Alaska, which will turn her father into a wild beast. What began as an adventure turns into a drama. Leni and her mother are about to learn that Alaska is not only beautiful but also terrible, that it can both save and 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 learns their true worth.
1978. Leni is now a young woman; she has settled into the wild land, grown to love it, and made it her home. Love has entered her life, and she dreams of the future. But the past holds onto her tightly, refusing to let go. And the drama rapidly escalates into tragedy.
Kristin Hannah's new novel is a family saga of incredible intensity, full of turbulent events and powerful emotions. A story of love and nearly Shakespearean drama unfolds against the backdrop of Alaska's beautiful landscapes.
