Kristin Hannah was born in September 1960 in Southern California. At eight years old, her family moved to Western Washington. Kristin decided to become a lawyer and attended law school in Washington. While in her third-and final-year of law school, Kristin’s mom was in the hospital, facing the end of her long battle with cancer. Always knowing that her daughter was meant to be a writer, Kristin and her mother collaborated on a novel. After her mom's death, she packed up all those bits and pieces of paper and research they'd collected and put them in a box in the back of her closet. Kristin got married and continued practicing law.
Then, Kristin found out she was pregnant and was on bed rest for five months. It was during that time that her husband reminded her of the book she'd started with her mom. Kristin pulled out the boxes of research material, dusted them off and began writing. By the time their son was born, she'd finished a first draft and found an obsession.
After many rejections, Kristin finally got "the call," and in that moment, she went from a young mother with a cooler-than-average hobby to a professional writer, and has never looked back. In all the years between then and now, she has never lost her love of, or her enthusiasm for, telling stories. Kristin feels truly blessed to be a wife, a mother, and a writer. Her novel, Firefly Lane, became a runaway bestseller in 2009, a touchstone novel that brought women together.
An unusual book but I liked it.

It will come as no surprise to fans of Kristen Hannah that this is a wonderful book. It’s different than the other novels of hers I read. The Great Alone was one of the best books I’ve read in the last several months, not to mention The Nightingale, which won about a million awards. Both were very d......more
3,5 Sterne Ein unterhaltsamer Familienroman, bei dem es hauptsächlich um zwei Schwestern geht, die langsam wieder zueinander finden. Das Buch hat mir gut gefallen. Ich mochte die zwei unterschiedlichen Schwestern sehr gerne und konnte mir ein gutes Bild von ihnen machen. Dieses dramatische Ende hätte......more

This was one of those decent reads but not anything special. The story mainly revolves around two sisters and the biggest problem I had with the book was I just never really cared for the younger sister, Claire. Usually I don't have to like a character to enjoy a book but she just rubbed me the wron......more
