From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Four Winds, Angel Falls is “a tearjerker . . . about the triumphs of family” (Detroit Free Press).

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 Liam not to expect a recovery, but he believes that love can accomplish what medical science cannot. Daily he sits at Mikaela’s 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 first marriage to movie star Julian True.

Desperate to bring Mikaela back at any cost, Liam knows that 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.

  • The measure of a man comes down to moments, spread out like dots of paint on the canvas of a life. Everything you were, everything you’ll someday be, resides in the small, seemingly ordinary choices of everyday life.

  • Each decision seems as insignificant as a left turn on an unfamiliar road when you have no destination in mind. But the decisions accumulate until you realize one day that they’ve made you the man that you are.

  • Some chances came and went, and if you missed them, you could spend the rest of your life standing alone, waiting for an opportunity that had already passed you by.

Self understanding

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2024

This book speaks to a lot of us, the hope of something that could never really be what we would like it to be. Some people are flawed and don't have the understanding of how to be the best of who they are deep inside. These people draw others to them selves but don't really have the ability to tap into their feelings on a deep level in order to grow and care deeply about others. We who love these kind of people try desperately to make them see how much we love them and to try and help them see their bad behaviour. Unfortunately we can stay trapped for years hoping for a person to change I was one of them thanks for this great book of awareness

Beautiful Story

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024

Good book. Kristin Hannah is a gifted writer. Her characters are great! The first three chapters pull the reader into the story completely. I loved the plotline. The story kind of bogs down in the middle.; it just turns flat for a few chapters. The story picks up with a beautiful ending.

This is not Kristen Hannah’s finest work, but it’s an enjoyable read and a touching story of love both lost and found. Take this book on vacation with you when you want something to read that doesn’t tax your brain. The characters are likable, relatable and pretty well-developed. Then, when your mind is rested read The Great Alone, The Nightingale, The Four Winds, Winter Garden or The Women, books that were written after exhaustive research and are some of the best books I’ve ever read and are books that show the true talent of Kristen Hannah.
