Another amazing story by Kristin Hannah,who I got to meet last week! This book was very hard emotionally to get through. The story of a former Viet Nam POW, and his wife and daughter who live their lives by trying to cope with his violent mood swings and hatred of the government by escaping to a remote area of Alaska. Wonderful descriptions of the living conditions with no power,water and the fear of attacks by wild animals and being where nobody can hear or rescue you. The love of a mother and daughter finally overcomes the love for a husband and wife when there is no other choice left.
