This is the first of Kristin Hannah's books that I've read, but it won't be the last. She writes a wonderfully compelling story about mother-daughter relationships and how a family learns to love again. Nora Bridge has it all, a nationally broadcast radio talk show, a loyal following and financial success. Until a scandal from her past brings it all crashing down. She has to face the daughters she walked out on decades before and they have to learn to love and trust her again. Interwoven are childhood memories and a love that has never died. It's a lovely book that you don't want to put down until the last chapter is finished.
