Between Sisters by Kristin Hannah

Saturday, July 25, 2009

Between Sisters My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every relationship is unique but none is more special than the bond between sisters. Even if circumstances long ago created distance in miles or in emotions, sisters have a distinct capacity to regain the connection and kinship that defines what sisterhood really means.

Kristin Hannah captures just this in Between Sisters. A heartfelt story of estranged sisters who find there way back to one another. A definite tear jerker and one worth picking up.

Summer Island: A Novel by Kristin Hannah

Summer Island: A Novelrating: 5 of 5 stars

Summer Island is a very touching story about the power of love through healing and forgiveness. It gently reminds us that each story has three sides and how sometimes we need to look past our own hurt and anger to renew an old relationship.

Summer's Island is sold on it being a book about Mother/Daughter relationships but it is so much more. It is truths hidden behind masks; love lost yet still yearned for. It is pain from being apart from family; and resentment for losing so much time.

Kristen Hannah once again delivers a powerful story that anyone can relate too. Summer's Island is both sad and uplifting having you laugh and cry throughout the whole story and reaching for the phone to call someone you lost contact with when it is over.

True Colors by Kristin Hannah

True Colors My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading Firefly Lane and claiming it "my favorite book of all time," I was really looking forward to reading Kristin Hannah's newest book.

As many reviewers have stated, this book is a very slow start. You find yourself skipping a lot of the details and trying to enjoy the story. The writing in the first half of the book has barely the amount of heart or passion that Hannah felt through the second half.

Overall a very good read. A definite tear jerker and hard to put down. (Well after the first 1/4 of the book, anyway.)
