Summary: Wonderful romance
Comment: Living in the Pacific Northwest, Kristen Hannah's On Mystic Lake truly made me appreciate the beauty of the northwest. Sure, it rains cats and dogs, but on a beautiful sunny day it can't be beat.
On the day that her daughter leaves for London Annie's husband of 20 years tells her he loves another woman and wants a divorce. Annie is devestated. After spending the past 20 years being "the perfect wife" and "the perfect mother" she doesn't know what to do with her life. So she goes home to Mystic, Washington, a small logging community near the Olympic penninsula.
When Annie returns she meets up again with her old friend (who married her best friend from high school). His wife commited suicide 8 months earlier and he and his 6 year old daughter are having a hard time coping. With nothing else to do, Annie offers to help him with his daughter.
Slowly Annie and Nick fall in love, but Annie is still married. After a few months Annie's husband decides he made a mistake and wants her back, but Annie isn't ready to go back.
This is a wonderful book about love, friendship, motherhood and finding yourself. This book is highly recommended and next time you find yourself in the beautiful Pacific Northwest remember that it doesn't rain every day, only 300 days a year.

Summary: Beautiful Love Story
Comment: On Mystic Lake is the first book I've read by Kristin Hannah and I cannot wait to read another. It is not a typical love story, but contains trials and tribulations that its readers can relate to. Hannah creates a story about love and heartache that grips the heart of the reader.
Annie Coldwater is forced to face reality when her husband of 20 years tells her he is in love with someone else. She was in the process of dealing with the fact that her only daughter had just left for Europe. Her husband, Blake, moves out and leaves Annie alone in their extravagant home in California.
But Annie can't stay there alone. She heads home to Mystic Lake where her father still resides. It is here that Annie runs into an old friend from high school, Nick.
Nick, like Annie, is dealing with tragedy. His wife recently committed suicide and he has turned to alcohol to help him cope. He is trying to cope with his daughter, though, not his wife's death. His six-year-old daughter has retreated inside herself since her mother's death and Nick doesn't know what to do with her.
Annie comes to stay with Izzie, Nick's daughter. It is during her time with Izzie that Nick and Annie realize their love for each other. Annie helps Nick deal with his drinking problem and helps Izzie come out of herself. They become a family, so to speak.
That is until Annie realizes she is pregnant with her husband's baby. Annie is forced to return to California and face her husband and tell him about their child. She must also choose whehter her newfound love with Nick is worth giving up her husband.
On Mystic Lake is a love story that makes its readers evaluate their life. It grips the reader and holds them to the very end. I can hardly wait to read another book by Hannah.

Summary: An absolutely beautiful love story
Comment: On 11/11, I endured the funeral of a very dear friend. As I approached the church, I noticed the sun breaking through the clouds, beaming down rays of light to shine down on the building where she lay inside, awaiting the eulogy to be given for her final goodbye. I thought my heart would break and I would never stop crying, even though I finally did. After the funeral, I stopped by my favorite bookstore and purchased four novels, two of which were written by Kristin Hannah. That evening, I made the mistake of starting to read ON MYSTIC LAKE. Because my eyelids were still swollen from the many tears I'd cried at the funeral and during the day, and my eyeballs felt like sandpaper was swiping over them every time I blinked, I thought it best to put the book down and finish reading it later. The next morning I found myself picking the novel up again. After I started to read. I couldn't stop until I'd read the rest of story, nor did I stop crying. I have to believe that Kristin Hannah has the finest talent to write the sweetest of love stories that I've ever had the pleasure to read in this novel. I have another one of her novels, but I don't dare start it right away. I need a break from the tears. KH had no trouble from the very beginning to capture of my attention. I felt every moment of Annie's heartache, as the description of the author's plot and characters was most excellent. If you want a genuine, heartfelt/heartbreaking/happy-ending love story, do this one. Just make sure you have a box of Kleen-x sitting close by. You'll need it.
