ON MYSTIC LAKE

ON MYSTIC LAKE by Kristin Hannah was read for the Just For Fun Reading Challenge 2011.

From the back of the book:

Annie Colwater's husband has just confessed that he's in love with a younger woman.  Devastated, Annie retreats to the small town where she grew up.  There, she is reunited with her first love, Nick Delacroix, a recent widower who is unable to cope with his silent, emotionally scarred young daughter.  Together, the three of them begin to heal.  But just when Annie believes she's been given a second chance at happiness, her world is turned upside down again, and she is forced to make a choice that no woman in love should ever have to make....

I've read quite a few of Ms. Hannah's books and enjoyed them all.  Add this one to the list of good books.  I liked all of the characters with the exception of Annie's husband, but I don't think any woman would like that cheating excuse for a man.  Annie was hurt deeply, but was able to move ahead with her life and help other people at the same time.  Then something happened that made Annie question her right to happiness.  How she handled this situation showed just how much Annie had learned about herself in a short time.

Ms. Hannah continues to be one of my favorite authors and I'll be looking for more of her books to read.

I don't think I've read anything by Hannah. Maybe I should give her a try.

This sounds good and I will give it a go thanks. I recently read another of hers and really enjoyed it too.

Just stopping in to see what other people read for the challenge this month.

This sounds like an interesting read. I haven't read anything else by this author though.

Mine is posted as well.

With the reviews I've read of "Night Road" having put it on my to-buy list, I always have an eye out for reviews of her other works as well. This one seems like one that I would definitely enjoy. Thanks for the review!
