About this ebook
From the New York Times number one bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds, comes Kristin Hannah's provocative and timely portrait of hope, honour, loss, forgiveness - and the elusive nature of love.
An intimate look at the inner landscape of a disintegrating marriage and a dramatic exploration of the price of war.
From a distance, Michael and Jolen Zarkades seem to have it all: a solid dependable marriage, exciting careers and children they adore. But after twelve blissful years together, the couple has lost their way. They are unhappy and edging towards divorce.
Then an unexpected deployment tears their already fragile family apart, sending one of them deep into harm's way and leaving the other at home, caring for the children and waiting for news. When the worst happens, each must face their darkest fear and fight for the future of their family.

The story is great, but the book had a lot of misprint which made it hard
for the story to flow, two and three words stuck together in places, and
many examples of "shed" which took me a while to work out was "she had."
Very annoying. The story was great though

I would love to be able to read this but there isn't one single apostrophe in it! I didn't manage to get past the sample. Terribly written.

The 1 star is for the terrible grammer and spelling, words mashed together, no commas or apostrophes or full stops! Disappointed!
