After finishing Home Front, I went back and looked over my list of Kristin Hannah books I've read. I noticed a pattern -- while I enjoyed some more than others, in general her books fall in the 3-star range for me. Not bad, but not exceptional. It also seems my issues fall into similar categories --...
I'm not even going to rate this one because I only got to 36% before I moved on to bigger and better books. One lady in the book club assured me that she was crying and sobbing in the end.This book was just so boring for me. I couldn't relate to the characters at all. Jolene was such a push-over in ...
A story of war and the toll it takes on soldiers and their loved ones left here at home. I read this book pretty quickly and cried through most all of it. One problem was it ended rather quickly and it seemed like all the problems were taken care of pretty quick also. I know from seeing my mother an...
Jolene and Michael are a ‘normal’ couple with two kids, a lovely home… and a crumbling marriage.

This book will eat you up and spit you out. I am not a crier but this book made me want to bawl my eyes out. I had to blink back tears a few times. I know people in the military and while reading this I could picture what they go through on a daily basis it was heart wrenching.You can read my full r...
Homefront by Kristin HannahMike and Joleene have problems as everybody has. He's just told her shortly after her 41st birthday party and he no longer loves her. He even brings the wrong color roses. He's too busy with his work life that he's neglected her and the 2 kids. He even wants to get a divor...

So when reservist Jolene is called up for duty to serve in Iraq, the family is thrown into turmoil. Although she hides it, as a mother of you...
