Does Liam love his wife enough to risk losing her to a man no woman can resist? His decision strikes deep into the heart of his family, transforming each of them.

Fate of Love

This is very nicely written Kristin Hannah novel. True Hannah fashion. This novel was not for me. I was able to predict what happened at page 245 and on. I almost DNFed it right there. I did end up finishing it but it was a struggle because the story line just wasn't for me. This has been the only Kristin Hannah books I haven't enjoyed.

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!

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!
