PRAISE FOR ‘THE GREAT ALONE’
“A tour de force. There are many great things about this book…It will thrill her fans with its combination of Greek tragedy, Romeo and Juliet-like coming of age story and domestic potboiler. She recreates in magical detail the lives of Alaska’s homesteaders… and is just as specific and authentic in her depiction of the spiritual wounds of post-Vietnam America.”
–KIRKUS (STARRED REVIEW)
“Reliably alluring…The Great Alone is packed with rapturous descriptions of Alaskan scenery… Hannah remembers and summons an undeveloped wilderness, describing a gloriously pristine region in the days before cruise ships discovered it.”
–THE NEW YORK TIMES
“Set in the early 70s, this coming of age story has parallels in the current day and becomes a cautionary tale for our times.”
–THE TORONTO STAR
“Featuring a rich cast of characters and elevated by the riveting portrayal of homesteading in Alaska in the 1970s, this is a compassionate story of a family.”
–People, “Book of the Week”
“Hannah is dominating national bestseller lists once again, with a post-Vietnam family saga that takes place against the harsh but gorgeous Alaskan landscape.”
–Entertainment Weekly, “New and Notable”
“Hannah vividly evokes the natural beauty and danger of Alaska and paints a compelling portrait of a family in crisis and a community on the brink of change.”
–Booklist
“Vivid…Hannah skillfully situates the emotional family saga in the events and culture of the late 70s…tautly drawn characters contribute not only to Leni’s improbable survival but to her salvation amid her family’s tragedy.”
–Publishers Weekly (starred and boxed)
“In this latest from Hannah, the landscape is hard and bleak but our young heroine learns to accept it and discover her true self…fans will appreciate the astuteness of the story and the unbreakable connection between mother and child.”
–LIBRARY JOURNAL
“This epic atmospheric novel examines humans’ will to endure the unthinkable.”
–Real Simple

The beautiful West....sending prayers to our family and friends in harm’s way, and to the brave men and women working to help them. Does anyone know of a good way to donate? apple.news/AUpHIWqcNSyqc9QMUj13NfQ

"The reality is that my mom most likely didn't make it off the mountain," said a California woman searching for her mother.1 week ago
Prayers that all in harm's way - and especially those fighting the fires' spread - may find safety.
Prayers for soaking rain, and God's protection for all.
God be with you and yours as you fight through these fires. Sending prayers.
Red cross is a great place to donate they have been amazing in southern Oregon where my family and sister have been displaced into it evacuation center 38,000 people are displaced they could use all the help they can get 🙏
Sending my thoughts and prayers to all of the west coast affected by the fires😢
I.D.E.S. in a relief organization for all kinds of circumstances. You can be certain all of your donations go directly to people in need, with no overhead expenses taken out!
Red cross fire relief fund. Also check out evacuation centers in your state and you can possibly donate cash on line. We were able to donate in person yesterday but we are located near an evacuation center (local fairgrounds) near Portland, Oregon. Stay safe, people!
So sad and people still don’t believe in Global warming.
My daughter works for the Red Cross. I know they would appreciate support.
In Brazil we have very trouble with fire in mato grosso alot forest burning and very animals runing to try live far from fire.
Peg Walters-Martorella Sayre. Your comment is uncalled for and really stupid! The fires have nothing to do with your political leaning. Those poor people with no homes to go back to couldn’t care less. Looking for legitimate places to donate is a good thing!
Praying
World central kitchen is always a good choice
So sad!
I applied to donate my time at a local food bank.

I find it amusing that when there are comments made about antifa or democrats on here everyone gets snippy about it and replies about how political nonsense needs to be left out of this, etc etc. Yet when someone makes a jab at Trump, it's all fun and games to keep joining in and that's rather acceptable. So typical of liberals. Hypocritical as always.
I love this. #fearlessgirl #rbg #riprbg
