Wow. Kristen Hannah has once again blown my expectations out of the water. She is truly a wonderful author and storyteller. I am not a fan of historical fiction but I will always pick up one from her. She made me feel like I was experiencing the story with the characters. And I truly respect the way she researches by including people who have experience with the subject and using their input to make changes to the story in order to make it historically accurate. I would recommend this book to all! If I could rate it 6/5 I would.
