I have only read Winter Garden and Firefly Lane yey but I too was bawling at the end of Firefly lane and I am not even a cryer... Loved both of these books. I have Angel Falls on my desk ready to read soon too. I really like her writing style and can't wait to read some more of her work!

I sobbed reading 'Winter Garden' but I loved it... the beginning was a little slow, but once you get past that, it is so worth it! I have most of her books, but my TBR pile just keeps getting bigger... I need more hours in the day to read... lol...

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!

I LOVED Winter Garden. I was crying at points during that one. I couldn't believe everything that the main character's mother went through. Though the hardest part was when their father died. It brought back a lot of grief of when I lost my Dad. I wasn't even sure I was going to read it when I saw that in the description, but I am so glad I did because the book was fantastic. It really stuck with me for a while afterwards. I loved all of the characters.

I also really liked True Colors and The things we do for love.

I had checked out Firefly Lane, from the library but had to take it back before I got a chance to read it. Might have to give it another chance. Will also have to add Mystic Lake to my list. I already have Night Road on my mile long list of books to read.

OK, I just downloaded Magic Hour and On Mystic Lake from the library. I'm a little skeptical as I'm not sure I like books that make me cry, so we'll see.
