Book Overview
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author The Women, a moving, powerful novel about the fragile threads that bind together our lives and the astonishing potential of second chances "A tender, beautifully told story of emotional growth, forgiveness and] the possibility of miracles."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) Madelaine Hillyard is a world-famous heart surgeon at the top of her game. Her personal life is far less successful. A loving but overworked single mom, she is constantly at odds with her teenage daughter. At sixteen, Lina is confused, angry, and fast becoming a stranger to her mother--a rebel desperate to find the father who walked away before she was born. Complicating matters for Madelaine are the vastly different DeMarco brothers: While priest Francis DeMarco is always ready to lend a helping hand, his brother, Angel, long ago took on the role of bad boy. Years earlier Angel abandoned Madelaine--and fatherhood--to go in search of fame and fortune. His departure left Madelaine devastated, but now he reappears and seeks help from the very people he betrayed--as a patient in dire need.

I think this is one of my all time favorite books. The author writes with such feeling and depth that I felt as though I were there and living the characters. The characters were very human and had flaws, but in the end, it gave hope that people really can grow and change. It is a tear jerker, but had a wonderful, wonderful story. I had a hard time putting it down once I started reading. I highly recommend it.
Excellent...

This is the third book by Kristen Hannah that I have read and it was wonderful. It was a tearjerker but it was also very romatic. The last chapter of the book was probably the most romatic ending I have ever read and I have read a ton of romance novels. These characters aren't perfect and I think that is why I could relate to them. I would highly recommend this novel as well as Angel Falls and On Mystic Lake by Ms. Hannah. I am going to try to find some of her older novels and I am sure that I won't be disappointed if the three I have read are any indication.
Heart-Breaking and Heart-Warming All In One!

If you're new to Kristin Hannah's books, I can highly recommend them all - this one especially. Ms. Hannah's characters are wonderful - not the usual "perfect" romance characters, but have their flaws, problems and troubles - just like real people! Usually in books, I root for one or two particular characters, but in this book I felt empathy for everyone and wanted them all to come out winners! I usually read a novel for entertainment and generally don't become too involved or emotional, but this book brought me to tears several times over and over ... and always does if I re-read it, even though I know what's going to happen. It's heart-breaking, heart-warming, and wonderful - indeed a terrific gift to us readers to have a book this wonderful in our hands! I've read everything Ms. Hannah has written and can highly recommend her books. Whenever I see one of her new books in the store - it's a MUST BUY - not a maybe...! :)
The best a romance can be. Wonderfully moving!
