Reviews"Superb . . . I'll heartily recommendOn Mystic Laketo any woman . . . who demands that a story leave her in a satisfied glow." -The Washington Post Book World "A LUMINESCENT STORY . . . Hannah touches the deepest, most tender corners of our hearts." -TAMI HOAG "MARVELOUS . . . A TOUCHING LOVE STORY . . . You know a book is a winner when you devour it in one evening and hope there's a sequel. . . . This page-turner has enough twists and turns to keep the reader up until the wee hours of the morning." -USA Today "EXCELLENT . . .ON MYSTIC LAKEIS AN EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE YOU WON'T SOON FORGET." -Rocky Mountain News "ON MYSTIC LAKE PROPELS READERS FORWARD TO THE FINAL CHAPTER." -The Seattle Times "A big, beautiful story of love, family, and second chances. Kristin Hannah has written the Must-Read Book of the Year!" -SUSAN ELIZABETH PHILLIPS Author ofAin't She Sweet? "The phrase 'page-turner' is redefined. . . . A clean, deep thrust into the reader's heart . . . Unfolds tenderly and with suspense . . . In Hannah's world, nothing can be taken for granted and triumph must be earned, with hard work, truthful reckoning, and tears." -Publishers Weekly(starred review) "Brimming with the kinds of emotions that tug at the heartstrings . . . Hannah's writing is all her romance fans have come to expect. It is as rich as the fertile Pacific Northwest rain forest she writes about and as soft around the edges as the fog on Mystic Lake." -The Cleveland Plain Dealer "On Mystic Lakenot only touches the heart, it helps redefine women's fiction for a new generation of readers. A haunting, evocative tale of love lost and found. A glowing, deeply felt tribute to the triumphant possibilities of self-discovery, personal growth, and change." -JAYNE ANN KRENTZ "ON MYSTIC LAKEIS SIMPLY WONDERFUL!" -TAMI HOAG "Hannah is observant and can turn a phrase. . . . [She] is superb at delving into her main characters' psyches and delineating nuances of feeling. . . . I'm sure there isn't a woman over the age of thirty-five who couldn't identify with Annie's sense of loss and abandonment, or share in her triumph as she regains her self-confidence and an identity separate from that of wife and mother. These jaded eyes actually got misty at the passages in which six-year-old Izzy implores her dead mother's spirit to wait for her, my skin crawled along with Nick's as he jitters through the early stages of his recovery, and I even felt compassion for the inability of Blake the cad to care about anyone but himself." -The Washington Post Book World "On Mystic Lakeis rich and dark, ripe with dense, smoky emotion, yet ultimately sweet at heart. . . . [The novel] is sentimental in the best sense, and like many of Hannah's earlier books, cathartic. She can make you cry, and in the end, offer a quiet resolution based on real growth." -Contra-Costa Times "A beautiful novel, heartbreaking and tender . . . Hannah writes of love with compassion and conviction, her characters so alive and dear you can't bear to see the novel end." -LUANNE RICE "A BEAUTIFULLY SIMPLE, DEEPLY COMPASSIONATE STORY." -DIANA GABALDON "Kristin Hannah br, "Superb . . .

SynopsisNATIONAL BESTSELLER - A poignant and tender story of love, loss, passion, and the fragile threads that bind families together from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Women . "A beautifully simple, deeply compassionate story."--Diana Gabaldon Annie Colwater's only child has just left home for school abroad. On that same day, her husband of twenty years confesses that he's in love with a younger woman. Alone in the house that is no longer a home, Annie comes to the painful realization that for years she has been slowly disappearing. Lonely and afraid, she retreats to Mystic, the small Washington town where she grew up, hoping that there she can reclaim the woman she once was--the woman she is now desperate to become again. In Mystic, she is reunited with her first love, Nick Delacroix, a recent widower unable to cope with his grieving, too-silent six-year-old daughter, Izzie. Together, the three of them begin to heal, and, at last, Annie learns that she can love without losing herself. But just when she has found a second chance at happiness, her life is turned upside down again, and Annie must make a choice no woman should have to make. . . .
