Not her best

This is a early book of k.hannah. though i enjoyed many of her books i thought this wa a silly, predictable story.

INCREDIBLE STORY AND WONDERFUL AUTHOR

What an amazing author and and incredible story! I am NOT an avid reader...picked this book up at the airport for a three hour flight. I COULD NOT put it down! I finished the book before going to bed...and have bought three other titles of Kristin Hannah's since! I am HOOKED on this author! Every book I read of hers, I can't put down. I highly recommend this book and EVERY book Kristin Hannah publishes!!!

About Time!

I've been waiting for this book ever since I finished reading Hannah's magnificent ON MYSTIC LAKE. I love her stories, maybe because she writes about everything I care about--relationships, family, marriages. ANGEL FALLS is simply wonderful. I read it too fast, and now I have to wait another year or so for the next Hannah. This is what Women's fiction is all about!

Superb read

In the Cascade Mountain range of northwest Washington state near Angel Lake, Mikaela and Liam Campbell raise their two children. While her nine-year-old son watches her, Mikaela falls while jumping with her horse, landing in a coma. Her loving spouse Liam and their two children (Bret and his older sister Jacey) worry that she will die. Desperate for something to do to help his wife, Liam continues to talk with Mikaela. To his chagrin and elation, Mikaela blinks at the name of her first spouse, movie legend Julian True.Though he may lose her if she recovers, Liam asks Julian to come to their small town of Last Bend to try to heal Mikaela. When she awakens, she has no idea who her current spouse is or the identity of her youngest child. She cannot understand why she looks olds since sixteen years have disappeared from her life because she suffers from amnesia. When she regains her lost memory, will she love her current husband or her former spouse?ANGEL FALLS is a fascinating relationship drama that centers on personal sacrifice. Readers will love Liam as he willingly risks losing the love of his life to someone else if it could restore her back to health. The children and Julian add to the drama through their relationships with the lead characters. Fans already consider Kristin Hannah to be on a par with the superstars like Delinsky and Roberts, but those few readers who had doubts will no longer have any after reading this novel.Harriet Klausner

It doesn't get any better than this!

Kristin Hannah is one of my all-time favorite authors. Her books are powerful and emotional with characters so real you can't help but laugh and cry and hurt along with them. ANGEL FALLS is a story that weaves itself around you, making you once again believe in the healing power of love. I was unable to put it down. So few books I read deserve a five star rating, but everything I have ever read by Kristin Hannah merits nothing less. Can't wait for the next one!

Another Kristin Hannah Gem!

Kristin Hannah has become one of the best writers fiction has to offer at creating emotional stories which are absolutely un-put-downable! In ANGEL FALLS she tells the story of how Mikaela' Campbell's family is affected after Mikaela lapses into a coma as a result of a horse-riding accident. Her husband is willing to do anything it takes to increase her chances of recovery, even if it means that with her survival, he could lose her to another man. With all the poignancy which has become a hallmark of Kristin Hannah's novels, comes a story beautifully written, and an absolute gem. Highly recommended!
