I was tentative to read another Kristin Hannah book after really not liking The Four Winds, but this book was a pleasant surprise. I honestly didn’t know much about this era outside what I saw in Forrest Gump. This story filled a huge gap in my knowledge, especially about the women in Vietnam, and gave insight to a challenging time in American history. As usual, KH made me cry, challenged what I was hoping would happen, and wrote another powerful story.
