Book Review by Tia Hopper - Author Kristin Hannah

Book Review by Tia Hopper

Author Kristin Hannah

 She lives in Northern Washington and all of her books take place there. I personally love that living in Oregon because I can totally relate to the weather and picture her scenery she describes. Anyway, she is a fantastic author and each of her stories are so different in content. 

WARNING: You WILL cry in all of her books. Somehow she gets you sucked into the characters and the storyline that you feel for these characters when different challenges arise. 

One more warning: there are a few curse words in her books. It makes me sad because I could really do without them but they are mild and not a lot of them. I skim over them and figure it's way better than a PG-13 movie. However if you can't take ANY curse words, than this might not be for you. But I am LDS and don't curse and I still love the books. I would recommend any books by her but here are my top favorites. 

Night Road: A tragic event occurs to three teenagers right before their senior year of high school and they are faced to think about choices, friendships, motherhood and love. Very intriguing! 

The Winter Garden: 2 sisters are forced to build a deeper relationship with their mother and find out more about her mysterious past in Russia as a girl. Had a hard time putting this book down!

Home Front: This book is about a Mother who is in the Army National Guard and her marriage is falling apart. Then she is deployed to Iraq for a year and her and her husband have to figure out how they are going to cope with this change and realize what matters in life.

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson 

(Little bit of a romance)

It has been a while since I read this book but really loved it and had a hard time putting it down. It focuses on love and becoming a new mother. Very relatable. I was so shocked a man could write this book as well as he did. Very good and quick read. 

There was a made for TV movie on it as well that you can watch in segments on youtube afterwards. It has Christina Applegate whom I love and really enjoyed it after reading the book. I thought they did a good job. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVbfwqeUDf4
