My Thoughts
I
will admit I might be biased since I am a huge fan of Kristin Hannah’s writing.
I think she writes such amazing heartfelt stories about friends, family and
love. Although The Glass Case is a short novella this read is no different.
It
focuses on April as she faces how her life has turned out and reminiscing about
her past. She had her children young and is worrying if her life is at all what
she thought it would be. She does not regret her children but she knows her
mother wanted more for her, and now that she has passed she wonders if her
mother would be upset with the choices she made. One day one of her children
goes missing and during that time the tragedy makes thing come into focus. She
realizes that regardless of what happens you will always love your kids, that the
fights and misunderstandings don’t mean a thing while it all comes down to it. Something
magical happens or some might say they saw it coming but everything turns out
okay. This novella while short packs as much emotions and love as any of
Kristin Hannah’s full blow books.
