Vanessa asked Kristin Hannah:

My favorite book of yours is Winter Garden. It's one of those books I think about often, even though I read it over 2 years ago. What inspired you to write that book? How long did it take you to write it?

Kristin Hannah Hi Vanessa! Until The Nightingale, Winter Garden was my favorite book, too. I think what they have in common are fascinating women living through impossibly dark and difficult historical times. I just love books that celebrate the durability and strength of women. The book took about 18 months to write, and I loved every minute of it. Let me know what you think about The Nightingale. I'm guessing you'll love it.

Stacey asked Kristin Hannah:

"Night Road" was my first read. From that day on I was hooked and a self proclaimed "Kristin Hannah Mega Fan". I have multiple copies of a few so I can keep one and loan the other out. I have always thought that your books would make an amazing movie. I would love to see the comparison from what I imagine while reading to what you have. Any plans for the future?
