Home Again

I think this is one of my all time favorite books. The author writes with such feeling and depth that I felt as though I were there and living the characters. The characters were very human and had flaws, but in the end, it gave hope that people really can grow and change. It is a tear jerker, but had a wonderful, wonderful story. I had a hard time putting it down once I started reading. I highly recommend it.

Excellent...

This is the third book by Kristen Hannah that I have read and it was wonderful. It was a tearjerker but it was also very romatic. The last chapter of the book was probably the most romatic ending I have ever read and I have read a ton of romance novels. These characters aren't perfect and I think that is why I could relate to them. I would highly recommend this novel as well as Angel Falls and On Mystic Lake by Ms. Hannah. I am going to try to find some of her older novels and I am sure that I won't be disappointed if the three I have read are any indication.

Heart-Breaking and Heart-Warming All In One!

If you're new to Kristin Hannah's books, I can highly recommend them all - this one especially. Ms. Hannah's characters are wonderful - not the usual "perfect" romance characters, but have their flaws, problems and troubles - just like real people! Usually in books, I root for one or two particular characters, but in this book I felt empathy for everyone and wanted them all to come out winners! I usually read a novel for entertainment and generally don't become too involved or emotional, but this book brought me to tears several times over and over ... and always does if I re-read it, even though I know what's going to happen. It's heart-breaking, heart-warming, and wonderful - indeed a terrific gift to us readers to have a book this wonderful in our hands! I've read everything Ms. Hannah has written and can highly recommend her books. Whenever I see one of her new books in the store - it's a MUST BUY - not a maybe...! :)

The best a romance can be. Wonderfully moving!

This is a must read for an woman who has ever fallen in love. It's real and gutsy and moving. One of the best of the year
