A veces, el camino hacia adelante empieza volviendo al lugar donde todo comenzó. Hace años, Nora Bridge dijo adiós a su matrimonio, abandonando a sus dos hijas. Desde entonces, se ha convertido en una célebre locutora de radio y columnista, admirada por sus sabios consejos. Su hija menor, Ruby, es una humorista en crisis que utiliza la figura de su famosa madre como blanco de su sarcasmo y su amargura. Cuando la prensa desentierra un escandaloso secreto del pasado de Nora, la distancia entre ambas se convierte en un abismo. Entonces Nora sufre un accidente y una revista ofrece a Ruby una tentadora suma para escribir un artículo sensacionalista sobre su madre. Ocultando sus verdaderas intenciones, Ruby regresa a casa para cuidar de la mujer con la que no ha hablado en casi una década. Nora insiste en que ambas se refugien en Summer Island, en la encantadora casa frente al mar donde Ruby creció, un lugar impregnado de sus recuerdos de infancia, de amor y alegría. Allí, Ruby se reencuentra con su primer amor y con su hermano. Los tres llegaron a ser inseparables, hasta aquel verano en que Nora se marchó... dejando un rastro de corazones rotos.

A #1 bestseller on The New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times! From the celebrated author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds comes Kristin Hannah''s The Women—at once an intimate portrait of coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided. Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is over-whelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. Each day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war, she meets—and becomes one of—the lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost. But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.

"The Bestselling Hardcover Novel of the Year."--Publishers Weekly From the number-one bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes a powerful American epic about love and heroism and hope, set during the Great Depression, a time when the country was in crisis and at war with itself, when millions were out of work and even the land seemed to have turned against them. “My land tells its story if you listen. The story of our family.” Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the direction of her life. With her reputation in ruin, there is only one respectable choice: marriage to a man she barely knows. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as crops fail and water dries up and the earth cracks open. Dust storms roll relentlessly across the plains. Everything on the Martinelli farm is dying, including Elsa’s tenuous marriage; each day is a desperate battle against nature and a fight to keep her children alive. In this uncertain and perilous time, Elsa—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family. The Four Winds is a rich, sweeping novel that stunningly brings to life the Great Depression and the people who lived through it—the harsh realities that divided us as a nation and the enduring battle between the haves and the have-nots. A testament to hope, resilience, and the strength of the human spirit to survive adversity, The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation.

Com temperamentos e princípios divergentes, cada uma delas precisa encontrar o próprio caminho e enfrentar questões morais e escolhas de vida ou morte." – Christina Baker Kline, autora de O trem dos órfãos "Uma análise lindamente escrita e ricamente sugestiva da vida, do amor, da devastação da guerra e das diferentes formas como as pessoas reagem a situações impensáveis – além do terrível preço que pagam por esconder segredos. Esta trama poderosa é sucesso na certa." – Sara Gruen, autora de Água para elefantes França, 1939: No pequeno vilarejo de Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac se despede do marido, que ruma para o fronte. Ela não acredita que os nazistas invadirão o país, mas logo chegam hordas de soldados em marcha, caravanas de caminhões e tanques, aviões que escurecem os céus e despejam bombas sobre inocentes. Quando o país é tomado, um oficial das tropas de Hitler requisita a casa de Vianne, e ela e a filha são forçadas a conviver com o inimigo ou perder tudo. De repente, todos os seus movimentos passam a ser vigiados e Vianne é obrigada a fazer escolhas impossíveis, uma após a outra, e colaborar com os invasores para manter sua família viva.

Então Jolene é convocada para a guerra. Ela sabe que tem um dever a cumprir e, mesmo angustiada por se afastar de casa, deixa para o marido a missão de cuidar das meninas e segue para o Iraque. Essa experiência mudará para sempre a vida de toda a família, de uma forma que ninguém poderia prever. No front, Jolene depara com a dura realidade e precisa, mais do que nunca, recorrer à sua força e inteligência para se tornar uma heroína em meio ao caos.
