This month's book is The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah.
Leni and her troubled family embark on a new way of life in Alaska's wilderness in 1974 – hoping this is finally the solution for her troubled, POW father. In Alaska, Leni and her family are tested and when change comes to their small community her father's anger threatens to explode and divide the town. This is a beautifully written novel, descriptive and engaging with well-developed characters and a strong sense of place. (LibraryReads)
