Homestead

📚 Homestead by Melinda Moustakis

In Alaska in 1956, Marie and Lawrence meet and marry within days, drawn together by the dream of building a new life. On 150 acres of untamed land, they begin the demanding work of establishing a homestead—and discovering who they have married.

As hardship tests their hopes and exposes the distance between them, securing a home becomes only part of their struggle. Can two people who barely know each other build a lasting future together?

Set against the rugged Alaskan wilderness, Homestead is an atmospheric historical novel about marriage, resilience, belonging, and the complicated pursuit of a fresh start. A compelling choice for readers who enjoy richly drawn settings and stories of ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges.
