Renie Zaccardo asked Kristin Hannah:

Kristin love the diversity of your books. How do you research your subjects for each book?

Kristin Hannah Thanks, Renie. I love the diversity, too. It keeps each book fresh and exciting for me as a writer. In researching any subject--and certainly with WWII France, I start with general research. Books on politics, social mores, geography, history, and then I narrow my focus to the areas in which I am interested. The very best and last research I do is the memoirs of people who have lived through whatever I am writing about. If I'm VERY lucky, I get to visit the places I write about.

Hi Kristin. I'm about 2/3 of the way through the audio of Home Front. I'm in awe of the emotional depths you plumb in this book. I'm wondering about the research you had to do to write the character of Jolene.
