The Great Alone Summary

The Great Alone is a bizarre and crazy story about a family; Leni, her father Ernt, and her mother Cora, who pack up their home and moved to Alaska. Ernt makes the executive decision to move up there, without any knowledge or supplies, and Leni and her mom follow him with no say… Which foreshadows other events in the book. The author tells the story of survival in Alaska and also in Leni’s home. There are many conflicts inside of the family and obviously outside in the town and with nature (because Alaska duh).
