okay, I've got to bump this up. When the library started lending out Kindle books, I put a hold on every Kristin Hannah book that I could. I got On Mystic Lake a couple days ago and it was fabulous. I was just rivited by this book. First the setting was so gripping to me, because I grew up close to where this book is set. The storyline was so moving. I think any mother, any stay-at-home mom, will find this book stirring you. I know this is a book that I will dwell on for quite a while. And a lot of us will hear ourselves in this quote from the book--

"We're like that, we moms. We take the pictures, but we don't record our own lives very well. It's a mistake we never realize until it's too late..."

This was my first Kristin Hannah book and I can't wait to read more. Thanks for this thread for starting my interest in her writing!
