Loved this book from start to finish, couldn't put it down. The description of the Alaskan wilderness makes you feel as if you are there. Totally mesmerising, can't wait to read Kristin Hannah's other books.

A wonderful emotional book that made me cry. Definitely not lighthearted. The book was very slow and it took me awhile to get into it but once I did I couldn’t stop reading. Highly recommend!

Not for the faint of heart. If you’re not ready to cry your eyes out, I don’t recommend this one. I balled like a baby at the end.
