True Colors is Kristin Hannah's most daring, fascinating, and heart-wrenching story yet, according to the New York Times bestselling author. With her characteristic dazzling prose and captivating characters, she tells the story of three sisters whose once-solid world is shattered by jealousy, treachery, and the kind of romance that comes along just once in a lifetime.
The Grey sisters have always had a tight relationship. Following their mother's death, the daughters formed a bond and became close friends. Their gruff, disapproving father is more concerned with his own reputation than with his children. Henry Grey is obsessed with appearances, and even after all these years, he still expects his daughters to reflect his social status.
Winona, the oldest, is most reliant on her father's favor. She knows she doesn't have the attributes her father loves because she is an overweight bookworm who has never felt at home on the enormous horse ranch that has been in her family for three generations. But, as the best lawyer in town, she's determined to one day show him how valuable she is.
The family's peacemaker is Aurora, the middle sister. Even as she hides her own inner grief, she mediates every conflict and attempts to keep everyone happy.
Vivi Ann is the family's unquestioned star. Those who are familiar with her adore her. She is a beautifully gorgeous dreamer with a heart as big as the ocean in front of her house. Vivi Ann has all she wants until a stranger arrives in town.
Everything will alter in a couple of moments. In ways that no one could have predicted, the Grey sisters would be pitted against one another. Secrets will be discovered, and a terrible, shocking crime will devastate their family and their beautiful community.
True Colors is an extraordinary tale about sisters, competition, forgiveness, redemption, and, ultimately, what it means to be a family, with a startling pace and piercing emotional depth.
