I've finally read some Kristin Hannah! I really liked this book! From the opening pages, I was sucked in and by the end the book had made me feel a whole range of emotions. However, there was something off with the writing — I think it felt a little flat and stilted for most of it — and some of the plot points felt a tad too contrived or convenient! But, it's an almost 500-page book, I don't recall being bored, and some things really did grab me emotionally, so that counts for a lot!
