Home front

"From a distance, Michael and Joleen Zarkades seem to have it all: a solid marriage, two exciting careers, and children they adore. But after twelve years together, the couple has lost their way; they are unhappy and edging toward divorce. Then the Iraq war starts. An unexpected deployment will tear their already fragile family apart, sending one of them deep into harm's way and leaving the other at home, waiting for news. When the worst happens, each must face their darkest fear and fight for the future of their family. An intimate look at the inner landscape of a disintegrating marriage and a dramatic exploration of the price of war on a single American family, HOME FRONT is a provocative and timely portrait of hope, honor, loss, forgiveness, and the elusive nature of love"--

a historical fiction novel that focuses on family, love, and honor for one's country. you'll read about a family going through challenges that we can't even begin to imagine as civilians. This is my 4th Kristin Hannah book and sadly my least favorite. Although it is an amazing story, it didn't tug at my heartstrings like her others have. It had a beautiful storyline, and while it drew me in, it was also pretty predictable. Even though I would recommend this book, i wouldn't say it's Hannah's best work.

classic kristin hannah book. makes you cry, makes you feel good, doesn’t give you the perfect happy ending but somehow that makes it better.

Kristin Hannah does amazing character work. I laughed and I cried. I will always read whatever she publishes.
