The Great Alone

Author: Kristin Hannah

Inspired by her family’s remote homestead on Chinitna Bay—now the site of Nat Hab's Alaska Bear Camp—Kristin Hannah’s novel The Great Alone is both a gripping family drama and a love letter to wild Alaska. As a family attempts to carve out a life off the grid, the landscape becomes both refuge and reckoning: beautiful, isolating and utterly unforgiving. Vivid, tense and emotionally raw, the novel captures the fierce independence and magnetic pull that have long drawn people to Alaska’s edge.
