In The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah, a woman has to be tough as steel. You can’t count on anyone to save you and your children. You have to be willing to save yourselves

Thirteen-year-old Leni is coming of age in a tumultuous time. Caught in the riptide of her parents’ passionate, stormy relationship, she dares to hope that Alaska will lead to a better future for her family and a place to belong. Her mother, Cora, will do anything and go anywhere for the man she loves, even if it means following him into the unknown.

As Leni grows up in the shadow of her parents’ increasingly volatile marriage, she meets Matthew. And Matthew's thoughtful, kind, and brave makes her believe in the possibility of a better life.

With her trademark combination of elegant prose and deeply drawn characters, The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah celebrates the remarkable and enduring strength of women.

Kristin Hannah is the queen of unforgettable stories that stay with you long after the final page. With sweeping emotion, richly drawn characters, and plots that tug at the heartstrings, she’s the bestselling author behind modern classics like The Nightingale, The Great Alone, and Firefly Lane.

Her novels have touched readers across the globe and inspired TV and film adaptations—because when Kristin Hannah writes, she doesn’t just tell a story… she creates an experience.
