About the episode
Kristin Hannah is the award-winning and bestselling author of more than twenty novels including ‘The Nightingale,’ ‘The Four Winds,’ and “The Women.’ A former attorney, she has made it her mission to tell the often forgotten stories of women in history. Kristin sat down with Jenna Bush Hager to chat about how books were a constant in her life growing up, how her mom knew she was destined to become a writer, and how she transitioned from a lawyer to best-selling author. She also reveals the intense research she does for her historical novels, and how her latest novel ‘The Women’ was more than twenty years in the making.
