About this book
In 1974, thirteen-year-old Leni moves with her parents to a remote Alaskan homestead, hoping the wilderness will heal her father’s trauma from the Vietnam War. Instead, the family finds itself confronting isolation, poverty, winter, and the volatile darkness he carries home with him. Leni’s perspective gives the novel its emotional center as she struggles to protect her mother while imagining a future beyond the family’s closed world. Hannah combines stark landscape writing with intimate domestic tension in a dark, accessible story about survival, first love, and choosing one’s own life.
