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
What I know now about life is this: your mother is a part of everything you do and everything you are.
Kristin Hannah
Whenever I write about motherhood - and I write about it a lot - I am drawing on my experiences as a mother and also my experiences as a daughter.
Kristin Hannah
