I love her writing and the heart and soul she puts into it. This is a unique story, full of very real life, and very well developed characters. Having grown up in a military family this resonates deeply with me. Thank you, Kristin Hannah, for another very worthwhile read.

I don’t really like to write reviews but I had to about this book. I love to read but I have never experienced the emotions that this book brought out of me! I even found myself talking to the characters! lol. Absolutely loved this book!!

What a beautiful, beautiful reminder that freedom is not free.

How awesome to read this journey to completion-to know you can not only survive but champion a new life after persevering through many challenges! Enjoy each moment of crying through this process and praying for all our military families!

PTSD is for real. It was painted beautifully.

Excellent

I read a lot - at least a couple books a week. I honestly cannot remember the last time I read a book that moved me the way this one has. The relationships in this story were so beautifully fleshed out and described that this will stay with me as one of my favorite reads along with another of her books, The Winter Garden. Bravo!

This book will grab your heart and won’t let go until the last word.

There are only two books that have ever made me cry. This was one of them. It’s a story of hope.

I loved the way that Kristin Hannah captured my heart and made it one with Jolene’s. I have not cried this much in a very long time. Even though my life has not included loss of the sort that Jolene experienced, I felt that loss sincerely. The story is believable and worth your time and tears!
