Champagne Living Giveaway: The Great Alone

I just love diving into a new book and being taken away to new places, meeting new characters and exploring parts of life that I’m not always in touch with. The newest book on my nightstand? The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. I just got the book yesterday, so I won’t be diving into it until I’m all snuggled up on the plane heading to Los Angeles this Saturday. I DID however, read a little bit about it. As I said, for me, summer equals a great book and full-relaxation mode. Especially when it’s an instant #1 New York Times bestseller (February 2018)!


and The Great Alone looks AMAZING

Alaska, 1974.
Unpredictable. Unforgiving. Untamed.
For a family in crisis, the ultimate test of survival.

Ernt Allbright, a former POW, comes home from the Vietnam war a changed and volatile man. When he loses yet another job, he makes an impulsive decision: he will move his family north, to Alaska, where they will live off the grid in America’s last true frontier.

Thirteen-year-old Leni, a girl coming of age in a tumultuous time, caught in the riptide of her parents’ passionate, stormy relationship, dares to hope that a new land will lead to a better future for her family. She is desperate for a place to belong. Her mother, Cora, will do anything and go anywhere for the man she loves, even if means following him into the unknown.

At first, Alaska seems to be the answer to their prayers. In a wild, remote corner of the state, they find a fiercely independent community of strong men and even stronger women. The long, sunlit days and the generosity of the locals make up for the Allbrights’ lack of preparation and dwindling resources.

But as winter approaches and darkness descends on Alaska, Ernt’s fragile mental state deteriorates and the family begins to fracture. Soon the perils outside pale in comparison to threats from within. In their small cabin, covered in snow, blanketed in eighteen hours of night, Leni and her mother learn the terrible truth: they are on their own. In the wild, there is no one to save them but themselves.

In this unforgettable portrait of human frailty and resilience, Kristin Hannah reveals the indomitable character of the modern American pioneer and the spirit of a vanishing Alaska—a place of incomparable beauty and danger. The Great Alone is a daring, beautiful, stay-up-all-night story about love and loss, the fight for survival, and the wildness that lives in both man and nature.

St. Martin’s Press and Champagne Living want to take you into Kristin Hannah’s Alaskan adventure. So we’ve partnered up for a….

    The last book I read was If I Live by Terri Blackstock. It was the third book in the series. Before that series, I read Night Road by Kristin Hannah.

    The last book I read was a Greg Isle book that my Mother got from the library. I can’t wait to read The Great Alone.
