ANGEL FALLS

ANGEL FALLS by Kristin Hannah

From Amazon.com:

When Mikaela Campbell, beloved wife and mother, falls into a coma, it is up to her husband, Liam, to hold the family together and care for their grieving, frightened children.  Doctors tell him not to expect a recovery, but he believes that love can accomplish what medical science cannot.  Daily he sits at her bedside, telling her stories of the precious life they have built together, hoping against hope that she will wake up.  But then he discovers evidence of his wife's secret past:  a hidden first marriage to movie star Julian True.

Desperate to bring Mikaela back at any cost, Liam knows he must turn to Julian for help.  But will that choice cost Liam his wife, his family, and everything he holds dear?   One of Kristin Hannah's most moving novels, Angel Falls is a poignant and unforgettable portrait of marriage and commitment, of an ordinary man who dares to risk everything in the name of love.

This book was an older book (2000) by Ms. Hannah that I downloaded from my library to my Kindle.  I've read quite a few of Ms. Hannah's books.  This one, for me, didn't measure up to her newer books.

I liked the character of Liam.  He was a man completely in love with his wife who was hurting so deeply as she lay in a coma for over a month.  I felt bad for the two children.  And I really wanted to feel bad for Mikaela, but I found that difficult. She had hidden so much of her earlier life from Liam, and I wondered how he could fully trust her again after he learned of her past.

I like the idea of borrowing library books for the Kindle, but I wish my library would start getting some newer books.
