True Colors: A Novel

Women across America laughed, cried, and reconnected with their friends after reading Kristin Hannah's smash hit, Firefly Lane. Now, in True Colors, she explores the poignant, powerful, complex world of sisters…

The Grey sisters had only each other when their mother died years ago. Their stern, unyielding father gave them almost no attention. Winona, the oldest, needs her father's approval most of all. An overweight dreamer, she never felt at home on the sprawling horse ranch that had been in her family for three generations. Aurora, the middle, is the peacemaker. Vivi Ann, the youngest, is the undisputed star of the family. Everything comes easily to Vivi Ann, her father's love most of all. But when Vivi Ann makes a fateful decision to follow her heart, rather than take the route of a dutiful daughter, events are set in motion that will test the love and loyalties of the Grey sisters. They will be pitted against each other in ways none could have imagined. Secrets will be revealed, and a terrible, shocking crime will shatter both the family and their beloved town.

With breathtaking pace and penetrating insight, Kristin Hannah's True Colors is a novel about sisters, vengeance, jealousy, betrayal—and ultimately, what it truly means to be a family.

At the end of this book there is an interview with the author Kristin Hannah. She's asked if it's a family drama, a love story or a legal thriller and she answers it's all of it. That is the problem with this book. It doesn't know what it wants to be. The sisters as characters are stereotypical- the smart, fat one, the youngest slightly rebellious one and the middle one trying to keep everyone together. The first 200 pages are mostly about them and I almost gave up. Then the legal part started and it picks up. Overall not my favorite Kristin Hannah book and I really like her as an author. Firefly Lane, The Winter Garden and The Nightingale are my favorites by her.

Breath taking! This novel not only goes over the bonds of family but also the wounds done and healed. This is a story of love redemption and of realizing who you are. Great read! Will read again.
