The Things We Do for Love by Kristin Hannah Book Summary

Years of trying unsuccessfully to conceive a child have broken more than Angie DeSaria’s heart. Following a painful divorce, she moves back to her small Pacific Northwest hometown and takes over management of her family’s restaurant. In West End, where life rises and falls like the tides, Angie’s fortunes will drastically change yet again when she meets and befriends a troubled young woman.

Angie hires Lauren Ribido because she sees something special in the seventeen-year-old. They quickly form a deep bond, and when Lauren is abandoned by her mother, Angie offers the girl a place to stay. But nothing could have prepared Angie for the far-reaching repercussions of this act of kindness. Together, these two women—one who longs for a child and the other who longs for a mother’s love—will be tested in ways that neither could have imagined.

The Things We Do for Love. I really enjoyed reading this story. It was sad to read about a child so neglected by her own mother and so alone in this world. Yet it was refreshing to find a women with no relation taking this young girl under her wing. The way the two merged into a beautiful relationship filling the need of each other; a woman wanting to be a mother and a young girl wanting to be loved by a mother, at the end was wonderful!

Enjoyable in a chick-lit,beach read sort of way. If you're looking for something light and predictable, this book is for you.

Great story. Emotional and beautiful. I have read 3 of Kristin Hannah’s books and while the stories themselves are wonderful they are quite a bit repetitive. The locations, adjectives, and even the nick-names of her characters are used repeatedly. It has become annoying to read the same description of everything from the sky to the street.

Beautiful. This was beautifully written. Can't wait to read more of her books!

The Things We Do For Love. This is a story about love and loss. A story about family. A story about life and death. This is a story about wanting a child and being denied. About children being born to people who don't want them and neglect them. It's about a teenager who gets pregnant and has to make hard choices. It will make you smile, it will make you cry. A story worth reading.

Emotional rollercoaster in the best way. I simply love Kristin Hannah

Solid. Solid read.

..... Love love love!!!

Loved it!. I have loved some of Kristin Hannah’s books but this one is one of my favs. Her writing style really pulls you in and brings things to life. So many things reminded me of my past and the loud family I am from.

Wonderful book. Sweet story about love that found a heartbroken lady and young girl

What love does for us. Beautifully written, winding the reader through the joys and heartaches of real life. You'll come to love the big Italian family whose sisters can irk each other, but rally when the chips are down. The parallel story line of the impoverished young girl who has a mother in name only will find you cheering her on as she faces a challenging future. And the heartbreaking reason that caused Angie to lose the husband she loved will make you wish she had dealt with her traumas differently. A satisfying read!

Good read. This books offers prospective to love and life that many take for granted. It’s a good reminder to nurture the love you have every chance you can.

Great read. The first book I read of Kristin Hannah's was Night Road (now one of my all time favorites!) this book was my 2nd...it was a great story. Tugged at my heart.

Touching and emotionally gripping. My 3rd book by Kristin. She has a way of telling tough stories beautifully.

Can’t understand why her books are so popular. This was very boring and predictable. I kept skipping pages trying to get to something I didn’t already know would be in there. In general her books are overrated.

Things we do for Love. A woman’s search for her meaning in life returning home after separating from her husband . Also a neglected girl’s search for love and a better life . They come together.

Like a vine that gets entwined around your heart. Now one of my favorite KH novels. It wraps around your heart and takes hold. Recommending to my daughters and friends.

The things we do for Love. Entertaining, not Hannah’s best story

The Things We Do ForLove. Very good story and GOOD writing.

Loved it!. Excellent storytelling about real life issues. Loved it!

Please Kristin Hannah keep writing. Another great Hannah read and an unseen, but great ending

Well written story of hope in Hannah’s unique style. Kristen Hannah has a style of writing that carries you effortlessly along the story lines. There’s such a smooth cadence to her stories. You can hear the characters in unique voices that creates a clear picture of the scene being portrayed.
