My First Kristin Hannah Book
This book came highly recommended. I’m about 30% in to it. It’s fast moving and easy to read but sometimes a little unbelievable. The characters just so happen to have items they need with no explanation as to where they came from. I’m reserving judgment.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Well worth your time to read this book.
Kristen Hannah is a wonderful author. She keeps your interest in the story and doesn't belabor the subject. There's good character development and enough descriptions of the characters and the scenery, etc. to give you a good visual but doesn't go on and on with minuet detail.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
