All the Winters After

All The Winters After tells the story of lonely and damaged people finding family, forgiveness and themselves in the Alaskan wilderness. The book begins 20 years after the death of Kache's parents and older brother in a plain crash. Kache has not been able to move past the sorrow and survivors guilt, but he is finally heading back home after losing his job and his girlfriend. He thinks his parent's home has been left abandoned all this time but instead finds that Nadia has been squatting in his home, and acting as caretaker. His home is exactly as he remembers it and Nadia seems to know everything about him.

Nadia escaped a violent husband and left her family and life behind, hiding out in the cabin. She has immersed herself in the life of Kache's family, reading their books, watching their movies, living in their memories. She's a shut in, never leaving the property, fearing that the husband will find her, but instead Kache does.

Together, Kache and Nadia heal each other. This book is a beautiful story about finding your way through great tragedies. Moving on, but never forgetting.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book from Sourcebooks in exchange for an honest review.
