    SAMPLE EXCERPT:

    “What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”

    Kristin Hannah’s inspiration to write Home Front was the result of a gradual realization that there’s a story to write from watching news every night. Everyday she was being inundated with news about the war in Iraq. The hundreds of soldiers being deployed, the hundreds who came back wounded, and those who came back in caskets poked at her heart. She was affected more so because most of them were as old as her own son. She was sensitive about the effect of these on the families that were left behind and it broke her heart to imagine how they cope with husbands or sons going home injured or, in the worst scenario, dead. How did one able to move on from there? As a mother, leaving her child to answer a call of duty was a most terrifying and difficult to imagine for her. She realized she had never read that story. She suddenly wanted to write that story. And she did.
    -------
    Don't miss out! It's highly recommended.

      Bibliography

      Foreword

      A personal note from the editor…

      What if…? was the question that gave birth to Behind the Story Books.

      When I pick up a book, from the first letter to the last, I am often completely enveloped in the novel - I'm laughing, rejoicing, fighting, and crying, side by side next to the characters. Even long after the book is finished, I found myself reminiscing about the scenes and characters over and over again in my head like a broken tape recorder – I was left high and very dry.

      One particularly pleasant evening, after closing the last page to a wonderful story, I just HAD to find out everything about the book - how it was created, how it was developed, who the author was, - everything.

      This sudden spurt of passion has led me to create and develop Behind the Story Books, to share with you - my fellow book lovers – a fan’s love for books. I hope you can see the love that went into the creation this book. Please enjoy this book and support Behind the Story Books. It is created for a fan, by a fan.

      So without further ado, I present to you…
