Kristin Hannah
That was the one thing she knew now. Some chances came and went, and if you missed them, you could spend the rest of your life standing alone, waiting for an opportunity that had already passed you by.
Kristin Hannah
She had been ready to love this man from the moment she first saw him. In all these years, that had never changed. They'd hurt each other, let each other down, and yet, here they were after everything, together. She needed him now, needed him to remind her that she was live, that she wasn't alone, that she hadn't lost everything.
Kristin Hannah
Nothing was easier to shatter than the fragile shield of an idealist.
Kristin Hannah
Marriages go through hard times. Sometimes you have to get in there and fight for your love. That's the only way for it to get better.
Kristin Hannah
I might screw up, I might embarrass you, I might yell at you, but I will never, ever stop loving you. You're my first born. The first time I held you... I fell in love so hard it cracked my bones.
Kristin Hannah

Kristin Hannah
The hallmark of my books is the relationships that define women's lives.
Kristin Hannah
And maybe that was how it was supposed to be...Joy and sadness were part of the package the trick, perhaps,was to let yourself feel all of it, but to hold on to the joy just a little more tightly.
Kristin Hannah
And no one drank just one shot of tequila.
Kristin Hannah
