It's Impossible to Pick a Favorite, but Here Are Our Picks For Kristin Hannah's Best Books

If you haven't already watched Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke's new series on Netflix yet, then you probably should. Firefly Lane (which premiered on Feb. 3) follows the relationship between two childhood friends through adulthood, and like so many other excellent TV shows, it's based on a book of the same name. Firefly Lane author Kristin Hannah has written 24 books since her career began, and her latest novel, The Four Winds, came out just a day before Netflix's Firefly Lane series debuted. Though you really can't go wrong with a Kristin Hannah book, here are just some of our favorites from the author.
