I've loved most of Kristin Hannah's novels I've read so far...but this one was a bit of a dud for me. The pace of the first half was incredibly slow, and the Farraday Family seemed like characters out of a cheesy Hallmark movie. The second half of the story became much more interesting with better character development, and the plot stared to pick up...then the story ended a bit suddenly. Hoping to find more of Hannah's usual well-rounded & dynamic characters in one of her other novels (her historical fiction is excellent)!
