“Kristin Hannah began her writing career with romances but has since changed her focus to stories of women’s lives and relationships. She writes character-driven novels that focus on relationships, particularly in families. Hope and determination in the face of adverse circumstances is an important part of her appeal. Her female characters are multi-faceted and relatable; they wrestle with universal issues surrounding parenthood, marriage, infidelity, and loss. How they deal with the consequences, however, is what makes Hannah’s characters so real and their stories so appealing.” NoveList Description
