I’m kind of on a kick on this topic at the moment. I just finished The Great Alone by Kristen Hannah (for the second time), and I’m currently working through Wavewalker by Suzanne Haywood and the audiobook of Educated by Tara Westover (also for the second time). Can anyone point me in the direction of similar books?
