Is anyone really surprised that the first Kristin Hannah I picked up was one where horses featured on the cover? Of course if you know the book, you’ll already know that the horses and ranch are more of a backdrop than a real feature (apart from Renegade and Clem – and as someone with a heart horse, I can confirm the attachments of horse and their human are very well done). 

Really this is a novel that is much more about sisterhood and the ties of family. And it’s a great exploration of family dynamics, the breakdown of families and finding your way back to each other. It’s also a commentary on judgement and the flaws in the justice system. These storylines were done very well and I can absolutely see why so many love the author’s writing. I appreciated the story but I can’t say that I fell for it as much as I wanted to.
