In her bestselling novels Kristin Hannah has plumbed the
depths of friendship, the loyalty of sisters, and the
secrets mothers keep. Now, in her most emotionally powerful
story yet, she explores the intimate landscape of a troubled
marriage with this provocative and timely portrait of a
husband and wife, in love and at war.
Like many couples, Michael and Jolene Zarkades have to face
the pressures of everyday life—-children, careers, bills,
chores—-even as their twelve-year marriage is falling apart.
Then an unexpected deployment sends Jolene deep into harm’s
way and leaves defense attorney Michael at home,
unaccustomed to being a single parent to their two girls. As
a mother, it agonizes Jolene to leave her family, but as a
soldier she has always understood the true meaning of duty.
In her letters home, she paints a rose-colored version of
her life on the front lines, shielding her family from the
truth. But war will change Jolene in ways that none of them
could have foreseen. When tragedy strikes, Michael must face
his darkest fear and fight a battle of his own—-for
everything that matters to his family.
At once a profoundly honest look at modern marriage and a
dramatic exploration of the toll war takes on an ordinary
American family, Home Front is a story of love, loss,
heroism, honor, and ultimately, hope.
