Kristin Hannah is becoming one of my favorite authors. I really loved Firefly Lane. Comfort and Joy was cute. True Colors did not disappoint in the slightest. One thing I admire about Ms. Hanna is that she will take on serious issues and that nobody is safe from death or tragedy.
True Colors is the story of three sisters, Winona, Aurora and Vivi Ann. When we meet them, as teens, they are living together, close as can be on their father’s ranch. Then their mother dies. We follow the story, told through the eyes of Winona and ViviAnn, through early adulthood. Typical for a middle child, Aurora tends to be the peacemaker, and we don’t get her point of view.
The girls grow apart, fight, come back together again. There are plot twists. It’s a love story at heart, love between three sisters, and the men who love them. It’s not easy, as Winona watches both of her sisters get married, while the love of her life leaves town after being in love with and engaged to Vivi (you see that coming). Vivi ends up falling for Dallas Raintree and has a son with him. Aurora is there too, married with children. Trying to keep peace with the other two sisters who always seem to fighting.
But it’s not completely a love story. There is also a murder mystery thrown in there! I will not spoil it for you here. There are other places that can do that for you.
The way Kristin weaves the stories together will leave you breathless, and keep you turning the pages long after you had hoped to stop.
Highly recommended.
