Kristin Hannah is one of the most successful novelists working today. She is also one of my all-time faves. I mean, The Nightingale and The Great Alone—come on!

Luckily for us, Kristin has written over 20 novels, including the international blockbusters, The Nightingale (soon to be a film starring Dakota Fanning and Elle Fanning), and Firefly Lane (now on Netflix with Katherine Heigl).

Her powerful new novel is called The Four Winds and takes place during the Dust Bowl. A former lawyer turned writer, Kristin shares her unlikely origin story, how she chooses the characters and setting of her epic tales, and what it's like to see her words come to life on the screen.
