The Grey sisters had only each other when their mother died years ago. Their father provided for them physically on Water's Edge, the ranch that had been in their family for three generations, each of them however, longed for their father's love.

Winona, the oldest, knew early on that she could never get it. An overweight dreamer and reader, she didn't exhibit the kinds of talents and strengths her father valued.

Vivi Anne, the youngest, had those things. And it was Vivi Anne who only ever saw a glimmer of their father's approval.

When Vivi Anne makes a fateful decision to follow her heart, rather than take the route of a dutiful daughter, events are set in motion that will test the love and loyalties of the Grey sisters.

With breathtaking pace and penetrating insight, Kristin Hannah's True Colors is a novel about sisters, vengeance, rivalry, betrayal—and ultimately, what it truly means to be a family.

At the center of Home Again is Madelaine—a brilliant cardiologist, a loving mother, a tender friend, and a woman full of self-doubt. It is also the story of her confused and angry daughter, Lina, and of the two very different men Madelaine loves: Francis, a priest searching for his faith, and Angel, a talented but cynical man with a broken heart. When tragedy suddenly brings them all together, they must learn to forgive the betrayals of the past and find the courage to love again.

Nel tranquillo paesino di Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac saluta il marito Antoine che si sta dirigendo al fronte. Non credeva che i nazisti avrebbero attaccato la Francia, ma di punto in bianco si ritrova circondata da soldati tedeschi, carri armati, aerei che scaricano bombe su innocenti. Ora che il Paese è stato invaso, Vianne è obbligata a ospitare il nemico in casa sua: da quel momento ogni suo movimento è tenuto d'occhio, lei e sua figlia sono in costante pericolo. Senza più cibo né denaro, in una situazione di crescente paura, si troverà costretta a prendere, una dopo l'altra, decisioni difficilissime. Isabelle, la sorella di Vianne, è una diciottenne ribelle in cerca di un obiettivo su cui lanciarsi con tutta l'incoscienza della giovinezza. Mentre lascia Parigi insieme a migliaia di persone, incontra il misterioso Gaëtan, un partigiano convinto che i francesi possano e debbano combattere i nazisti. Rapita dalle idee e dal fascino del ragazzo, Isabelle si unirà alla Resistenza senza mai guardarsi indietro, non considerando i rischi gravissimi a cui andrà incontro. "L'usignolo" racconta di due sorelle distanti per età, esperienze e ideali, ognuna alle prese con la propria battaglia per la sopravvivenza ma entrambe alla ricerca fiduciosa dell'amore e della libertà.

In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn’t believe that the Nazis will invade France . . . but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne’s home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.

Once, a long time ago, I walked down a night-darkened road called Firefly Lane, all alone, on the worst night of my life, and I found a kindred spirit. That was our beginning. More than thirty years ago. TullyandKate. You and me against the world. Best friends forever. But stories end, don’t they? You lose the people you love and you have to find a way to go on. . . .

Tully Hart has always been larger than life, a woman fueled by big dreams and driven by memories of a painful past. She thinks she can overcome anything until her best friend, Kate Ryan, dies. Tully tries to fulfill her deathbed promise to Kate---to be there for Kate’s children---but Tully knows nothing about family or motherhood or taking care of people.

Sixteen-year-old Marah Ryan is devastated by her mother’s death. Her father, Johnny, strives to hold the family together, but even with his best efforts, Marah becomes unreachable in her grief. Nothing and no one seems to matter to her . . . until she falls in love with a young man who makes her smile again and leads her into his dangerous, shadowy world.

Dorothy Hart---the woman who once called herself Cloud---is at the center of Tully’s tragic past. She repeatedly abandoned her daughter, Tully, as a child, but now she comes back, drawn to her daughter’s side at a time when Tully is most alone. At long last, Dorothy must face her darkest fear: Only by revealing the ugly secrets of her past can she hope to become the mother her daughter needs.

A single, tragic choice and a middle-of-the-night phone call will bring these women together and set them on a poignant, powerful journey of redemption. Each has lost her way, and they will need each one another---and maybe a miracle---to transform their lives.

An emotionally complex, heart-wrenching novel about love, motherhood, loss, and new beginnings, Fly Away reminds us that where there is life, there is hope, and where there is love, there is forgiveness.
