Hi Kristin, What made you want to write? And when you write your stories are you writing about some of your personal experiences? Please keep the books coming you make this stay at home mom of 4 kids 1 who is disabled be able to escape to different places and experience different things.

Kristin Hannah Hi Charity--wow! It sounds like you have your hands full with four kids. :) I'm amazed you find any time to read. Thank you so much for loving my books. I really started writing exactly because I wanted to be an at home mom. And yes, I do write often about my personal experiences. The book that most closely mirrors my life is Firefly Lane. It is very much about my life; it's an homage to my beloved mom, whom I lost to cancer when I was 25. Hope you love The Nightingale!
