Kristin Hannah has written another great book that will take you back in time to the early 70's and 80's and into the future of Alaska. This novel is titled 'The Great Alone' and is the story of Leni and Cora Allbright and how they survived physically and emotionally as mother and daughter with a husband and father that they loved but were also afraid of a lot of the time. Leni and Cora made a lot of friends that would have helped them any way that they could.
This is a novel that Kristin Hannah shows and tells what living and surviving in Alaska is all about. You will feel like you are in Alaska right along with Leni, Cora and Large Marge, and all the others.

Jams and Jellies
Here are four friends of two different families one is from Jams and the others are from Jellies. Their names are Raspberries and Sour Cherries. All four thought that they could be related somehow. They started to ask some questions. "What is the difference between jam and jelly?" "Does it really matter to us?" They heard that one is 'thicker' than the other is that so. They sat around and thought and thought about this and figured out that they were all delicious. Jams liked Jellies and Jellies liked Jams and they decided not to wonder why any more now.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
