@geneandshay: visiting real locations from my favorite @Kristin Hannah book to see if they match what i pictured in my head!! when i read The Great Alone I immediately knew I had to add Alaska to my travel bucket list. Between the scenery described in the books and the remoteness I pictured, I googled Homer, AK and became a little obsessed with it toh!! needless to say, being here in real life and comparing it to the pages I (sob) read months ago was surreal and I'll now be shouting from the rooftops for everyone to add this to their travel plans locations mentioned and how we got here: - flew in to Anchorage - van rented by @vanderlust_vans - Homer, AK: 4 hours from Anchorage - @saltydawgsaloon - Katchemak Bay by discovery alaska wildfire tour would anyone else plan an entire trip around their favorite book?? #thegreatalone #kristinhannah #alaska

this is SUCH a testament to Hannah’s writing because I genuinely feel like I imagined it just like this which means she did a beautiful way of describing it 🥹

My family has a home here! It's the most special place on earth. Go back when the fireweed is in full bloom it's amazing. Eat at Finn's and get a tattoo on the Spit by Rachel! Also my favorite book.

This is also one of my favorite books. When I picked it up I did not know it would take place in the town and village that absolutely stole my heart. Seldovia is where my family is from and where my native cousins originate from. Reading this and having her describe all the places I have been, and imagining Seldovia as the village in her book brought me so much joy and slight homesickness. Thank you for doing this! Make me wanna re read the book again. ❤️
