If You Believe: A Novel Mass Market Paperback – December 4, 1993

I loved this story, as I do with all Kristin Hannah books. My problem is that the book was filled with so many typos that it was difficult to read. Someone needs to edit the copy and correct all of the numerous errors.

Since this type of novel is quite different than the books, I usually read I have to admit to actually enjoying this story. I found it somewhat interesting, liked the beginning part of this book which involved a fist fight. From a historical perspective and as a somewhat romantic novel I can see women enjoying this book more so than men.This story revolves around Mariah Throckmorton who gets involved romantically with a character named “Mad Dog Stone” a drifter who moves around looking for work. This is a story about second chances we sometimes experience in life. I never give away too much information when reviewing a novel. If you like the romantic novels of Kristin Hannah, you may want to check out this book. In the end everything will work out well as in most of Kristin Hannah’s romantic novels.Rating: 4 Stars.

In good shape

I wanted a newer story by Kristin Hannah and Amazon said "published in 2022" so I ordered it. I don't know who typed this for Ms. Hannah but she must have mistakenly given the publisher the first draft typed by a non-typist. Large breaks between words and sentences. Chapter headings not separate from paragraphs, frequent misspellings, odd indentations. Even the main character's name was changed many times! It was very distracting especially for someone who worked in the legal field preparing court documents. I'm very surprised. Maybe she was going to miss a deadline and decided to submit whatever was handy. The story is okay so far but not like her usual writing. I'm not sure I'll finish this one!

I loved the nostalgia of the times riding boxcar ….freedom of the road….the characters are the bestThe facts about life and real love Hope & hardship.The story about real people lives those who aren’t perfect find what they need most —— each other .

I enjoy books written by Kristin Hannah and was looking forward to this book. I find it very disheartening to receive an e-book that is filled with so many typographical errors. It actually takes away from the story line. Shame on you Amazon for charging $7.99 for the Kindle edition with this many errors.

Good service.

I loved this one. She got inside the characters of Mariah, Mad Dog, Rass and Jake really well and I liked all of them. She has the tendency to overdo the same descriptions of characters or situations, but I really enjoyed this one. She did pretty well with her characters in not being repetitive in her mostly written over usage of descriptive wordiness. But the characters were very interesting, unique and likeable. It kept me reading day and night. As with all her books, I finished it within 2 or 3 days. They definitely keep you wanting more. I just wish she could stop dragging out situations and the same descriptions for so long. Come on Kristin!!! Your story lines are great.
