Kristin Hannah does something unbelievably touching in this story. From the first page you know it's going to be a great story and it delivers on that promise, 110%. A MUST read.

Great read! The pages basically turned themselves. I always thought people were dramatic saying they wanted to throw a book across the room but this book definitely made me want to do that.. some of the choices the characters, especially Mama, made were so infuriating.
