Book Overview
Home Front is Hannah's crowning achievement.--The Huffington Post
In this powerhouse of a novel, Kristin Hannah explores the intimate landscape of a troubled marriage with this provocative and timely portrait of a husband and wife, in love and at war. All marriages have a breaking point. All families have wounds. All wars have a cost. . . . Like many couples, Michael and Jolene Zarkades have to face the pressures of everyday life--children, careers, bills, chores--even as their twelve-year marriage is falling apart. Then a deployment sends Jolene deep into harm's way and leaves defense attorney Michael at home, unaccustomed to being a single parent to their two girls. As a mother, it agonizes Jolene to leave her family, but as a solider, she has always understood the true meaning of duty. In her letters home, she paints a rose-colored version of her life on the front lines, shielding her family from the truth. But war will change Jolene in ways that none of them could have foreseen. When tragedy strikes, Michael must face his darkest fear and fight a battle of his own--for everything that matters to his family. At once a profoundly honest look at modern marriage and a dramatic exploration of the toll war takes on an ordinary American family, Home Front is a story of love, loss, heroism, honor, and ultimately, hope. Hannah has written a remarkable tale of duty, love, strength, and hope that is at times poignant and always thoroughly captivating and relevant. --Library Journal (starred review)Format:Paperback

Fabulous Book! From the spouse of a Vet.
Published by Joy , 1 month ago
Wow! Kristin Hannah this is one of your Best! This book is so very True! I saw my husband suddenly holding his fake gun watching his perimeter while crossing the street. He suddenly was back in Iraq. His co-worker committed suicide after returning home. This is so true. So real. Family support is absolutely so very necessary. It is everything along with therapy. However the VA saved my husbands life. They were fabulous. Thank you to those Vietnam vets. We have them to thank for the changes made for our soldiers.
Thank you Hannah. This helped me know how to better help my husband!

I enjoyed reading Home Front. Not as much as I enjoyed the Nightengale but I must stop comparing.Some parts were a little slow.
