Welcome to Litsy!

Stayed up til 2:00am to finish! This is my first Kristin Hannah novel and it didn‘t disappoint. A story of many types of survival. When my alarm goes off for work….I‘m going to be hurting.

I listened to this book on flights to and from Alaska, and it was the perfect complement to my trip.

I have yet to be disappointed by a Kristin Hannah book. I will say the Mom in this book frustrating me to no end, but I still truly enjoyed it.

This week I‘ve had the opportunity to visit a cousin who‘s been teaching in a dual language village school in Alaska for several years. She shared the essay “In Quinhagak” from this book. It details the writer‘s visit to a village where an archaeological dig is working to preserve a 500 year old village in the same area of Alaska before it‘s washed away by the sea. It was fascinating to read and see details similar to the village where she lives.
