Kristen Hannah has this way of making you feel like the story is going to wrap up, only to look down and see that there's 5 more hours of book left (audio). The description is deep and sometimes a lot to process.. I think she is an author I prefer as Audio for this reason.. and her reader is phenomenal. 

I'm not sure how to describe this book and the emotions..but I can say it's a book of survival. A mother and daughter going along with "dad's" next big thing and moving to the  Alaska bush for a new start. Trigger warning there is DV in this book. There is also love and friendship, and hope against all odds.
