Home Front

Home Front by Kristin Hannah

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Hannah has written another gripping, emotional, honest book - this time about a family on the edge of losing itself when mom/wife/National Guard chopper pilot, Jolene, is deployed to the the Iraqi war zone. Left at home, is dad/husband/defense attorney Michael, who finds himself fighting for a young soldier with PTSD, raising two upset, bewildered daughters without Jolene, the anchor of their home, and making an about right face in his perception of the war and his wife's feelings of duty and honor. Tragedy eventually strikes in Iraq and Michael has to learn to handle the multitude of changes that abruptly arise.

I learned an amazing amount of information about PTSD, how we need to provide more resources for our courageous men and women who come home from the front and their families, who are left to pick up the pieces.

Kristin Hannah - one of my top 10 authors.
