Les vents de sable

« Quelqu'un m'a dit un jour que l'Alaska ne forgeait pas le caractère, elle le révélait. La triste vérité, c'est que l'obscurité qui peut régner en Alaska a révélé le côté obscur de mon père. Il était vétéran du Vietnam, ancien prisonnier de guerre. Nous ne savions pas alors tout ce que cela signifiait. Maintenant, nous le savons. » Quand Ernt rentre du Vietnam, sa fille Leni, dix ans, ne le reconnaît pas. Poursuivi par de terribles cauchemars, il se montre violent envers sa femme Cora. Un jour, il reçoit une lettre du père d'un de ses amis, mort dans ses bras durant cet enfer, qui lui lègue un terrain avec un chalet en Alaska. Il se dit qu'il pourra peut-être s'y reconstruire. Avant la guerre, ils étaient si heureux... Au coeur de l'Alaska des années 1970, une poignante saga familiale qui prend racine dans la beauté d'une nature éblouissante et sauvage.
