Years of trying unsuccessfully to conceive a child have broken more than Angie DeSaria’s heart. Following a painful divorce, she moves back to her small Pacific Northwest hometown and takes over management of her family’s restaurant. In West End, where life rises and falls like the tides, Angie’s fortunes will drastically change yet again when she meets and befriends a troubled young woman.

Angie hires Lauren Ribido because she sees something special in the seventeen-year-old. They quickly form a deep bond, and when Lauren is abandoned by her mother, Angie offers the girl a place to stay. But nothing could have prepared Angie for the far-reaching repercussions of this act of kindness. Together, these two women—one who longs for a child and the other who longs for a mother’s love—will be tested in ways that neither could have imagined.

Jsmelser

Great read. The first book I read of Kristin Hannah's was Night Road (now one of my all time favorites!) this book was my 2nd...it was a great story. Tugged at my heart.

Nonaistakenrn

Can’t understand why her books are so popular. This was very boring and predictable. I kept skipping pages trying to get to something I didn’t already know would be in there. In general her books are overrated.

AnnieW2010

Beautiful. This was beautifully written. Can't wait to read more of her books!

Tiggy/Cookie

The Things We Do For Love. This is a story about love and loss. A story about family. A story about life and death. This is a story about wanting a child and being denied. About children being born to people who don't want them and neglect them. It's about a teenager who gets pregnant and has to make hard choices. It will make you smile, it will make you cry. A story worth reading.

Gold plated dynamite 💯

Great story. Emotional and beautiful. I have read 3 of Kristin Hannah’s books and while the stories themselves are wonderful they are quite a bit repetitive. The locations, adjectives, and even the nick-names of her characters are used repeatedly. It has become annoying to read the same description of everything from the sky to the street.

Cdreviews

Solid. Solid read.

LisaEmmittPlay

Enjoyable in a chick-lit,beach read sort of way. If you're looking for something light and predictable, this book is for you.

Birdgirl2016

What love does for us. Beautifully written, winding the reader through the joys and heartaches of real life. You'll come to love the big Italian family whose sisters can irk each other, but rally when the chips are down. The parallel story line of the impoverished young girl who has a mother in name only will find you cheering her on as she faces a challenging future. And the heartbreaking reason that caused Angie to lose the husband she loved will make you wish she had dealt with her traumas differently. A satisfying read!

..... Love love love!!!

Touching and emotionally gripping. My 3rd book by Kristin. She has a way of telling tough stories beautifully.

Bevbookreader

The things we do for Love. Entertaining, not Hannah’s best story

Disappointedbyagame6877

Well written story of hope in Hannah’s unique style. Kristen Hannah has a style of writing that carries you effortlessly along the story lines. There’s such a smooth cadence to her stories. You can hear the characters in unique voices that creates a clear picture of the scene being portrayed.

Tami Nantz

Loved it!. Excellent storytelling about real life issues. Loved it!

Mezmeroz

The Things We Do for Love. I really enjoyed reading this story. It was sad to read about a child so neglected by her own mother and so alone in this world. Yet it was refreshing to find a women with no relation taking this young girl under her wing. The way the two merged into a beautiful relationship filling the need of each other; a woman wanting to be a mother and a young girl wanting to be loved by a mother, at the end was wonderful!

Despat70

Loved it!. I have loved some of Kristin Hannah’s books but this one is one of my favs. Her writing style really pulls you in and brings things to life. So many things reminded me of my past and the loud family I am from.

ParkerMamaof2

Wonderful book. Sweet story about love that found a heartbroken lady and young girl
