"That although there is pain and trauma, there is also so much joy and life left to live." 

"Words were creators of worlds, you had to be careful with them." 

The Women was heartbreaking and absolutely beautiful. 

Historical Fiction is not always my cup of tea, but I was hooked from the beginning with Kristin Hannah's skilled story telling. This is the first book of hers I have read, and it will surely not be the last.
