"True Colors"


This novel by Kristin Hannah is an indepth and insightful look at complicated family relationships -- between sisters, fathers and daughters, sons and fathers, sons and mothers, spouses, and lovers. It's about a miscarriage of justice and the incredible hardship and grief it brings to a family as well as rifts among family members on opposite sides of an issue. As is often the case with siblings, each sister finds her own unique way of dealing with her childhood loss and the coping skills she acquires translate to the type of life she builds for herself as an adult and the way she deals with future losses. The book, though, is also about healing relationships and accepting relationships that can't be healed or changed. It's about being there for one another when it really counts.

The author acknowledges "the various Innocence Projects around the country who fight for justice one case at a time." To learn more about Kristin Hannah and the other books she's written, go to www.kristinhannah.com.
