Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor
Kristin Hannah grew up between Southern California and the Pacific Northwest, the region her family settled in after a 1968 road trip that she has often described as formative. She earned a B.A. in communication from the University of Washington in 1983, then attended law school at the University of Puget Sound and worked as an attorney. The decisive turn came during her third year of law school, when her mother, dying of breast cancer, urged her to become a writer and collaborated with her on an early novel at the hospital bedside. After her mother’s death, Hannah set the manuscript aside, returned to it during pregnancy bed rest, and gradually shifted from law to fiction. Her first published novel, A Handful of Heaven, appeared in 1991, beginning a steady professional writing life rather than a sudden debut splash.
