Kristin Hannah is the bestselling author of more than 20 novels, including The Nightingale, The Four Winds and The Women, and has built her career around telling the often overlooked stories of women in history. In this conversation from September 2025, Hannah sits down with Jenna to reflect on the books that shaped her, the path that led her from practicing law to becoming a novelist and the deep research behind her historical fiction. Plus, she opens up about why The Women took more than 20 years to write and what continues to draw her to stories of resilience, sacrifice and womanhood. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
