About Kristin Hannah

Kristin has sold more than twenty novels including True Colors, the epic Firefly Lane and Winter Garden. Her work of fiction, Home Front, was optioned for film by 1492 films. “You are going to be an author” are the farsighted words she never forgot from her mother. She was in her third and final year of Law school and her mother was in the sickbay facing the end of her battle with cancer. Kristin was surprised to find out that her mother thought she would become an author. They collaborated on a tale for the next couple of months. After her mother’s death, Kristin packed up all bits and pieces of research they had composed and put them in her closet. Kristin got married and got pregnant. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Kristin Hannah has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
