Summary: About Time!
Review: I've been waiting for this book ever since I finished reading Hannah's magnificent ON MYSTIC LAKE. I love her stories, maybe because she writes about everything I care about--relationships, family, marriages. ANGEL FALLS is simply wonderful. I read it too fast, and now I have to wait another year or so for the next Hannah. This is what Women's fiction is all about!

When she awakens, she has no idea who her current spouse is or the identity of her youngest child. She cannot understand why she looks olds since sixteen years have disappeared from her life because she suffers from amnesia. When she regains her lost memory, will she love her current husband or her former spouse? ANGEL FALLS is a fascinating relationship drama that centers on personal sacrifice. Readers will love Liam as he willingly risks losing the love of his life to someone else if it could restore her back to health. The children and Julian add to the drama through their relationships with the lead characters. Fans already consider Kristin Hannah to be on a par with the superstars like Delinsky and Roberts, but those few readers who had doubts will no longer have any after reading this novel.

Summary: It doesn't get any better than this!
Review: Kristin Hannah is one of my all-time favorite authors. Her books are powerful and emotional with characters so real you can't help but laugh and cry and hurt along with them. ANGEL FALLS is a story that weaves itself around you, making you once again believe in the healing power of love. I was unable to put it down. So few books I read deserve a five star rating, but everything I have ever read by Kristin Hannah merits nothing less. Can't wait for the next one!

Summary: Disappointed in the end
Review: I've enjoyed Ms. Hannah's books in the past and and liked this one until the end of the novel. I don't want to give the plot away, but frankly, the sudden about-face of the heroine is unconvincing. I'd check the book out at the library or wait for it in paperback. Not a keeper.

Summary: Another winner!
Review: Kristin Hannah is a master at writing complex and emotional stories about families. With Angel Falls she delves into her characters' pasts and their present, unravels the secrets they keep, even from those they most love. She explores the complexities of human nature, the questions we women ask ourselves about passion, marriage, and motherhood. Can we live with our most difficult choices? What really is love? The answers are not easy, and yet, unlike so many of today's novels, the message is universally writer, one who is redefining women's fiction for every generation. Simply superb.

Summary: Another Kristin Hannah Gem!
Review: Kristin Hannah has become one of the best writers fiction has to offer at creating emotional stories which are absolutely un-put-downable! In ANGEL FALLS she tells the story of how Mikaela' Campbell's family is affected after Mikaela lapses into a coma as a result of a horse-riding accident. Her husband is willing to do anything it takes to increase her chances of recovery, even if it means that with her survival, he could lose her to another man. With all the poignancy which has become a hallmark of Kristin Hannah's novels, comes a story beautifully written, and an absolute gem. Highly recommended!

Summary: Makes you think
Review: Love...means different things to different couples. What is better? Fireworks or stability? When the heroine in this book wakes up from her coma, she has to answer that question to go on with her life. Her husband is one that all women would want by their bedside. The true meaning of the word "family" also becomes clear to her. I even ached for the sacrifices and mistakes her mom made to raise her daughter. Definitely a love story of the highest order.
