The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. Historical Fiction based in Alaska – 1970’s. A Vietnam POW comes home fighting demons from the war and moves his wife and daughter to a cabin with no electricity or running water in a remote area of Alaska.  The story chronicles the hard life of homesteaders and the relationships between husband and wife, the daughter who falls in love with her only friend and the close-knit community that helps neighbors through good times and bad.  I loved the strong women she created in this book, wanted to shake sense into a few characters and grew to really dislike a few others! This was a page turner for me and I lost some sleep because I was up all-night reading!
