Magic Hour: A Novel
<b>From the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Nightingale </i>and<i> The Great Alone</i> comes an incandescent story about the resilience of the human spirit, the triumph of hope, and the meaning of home.</b><br /> <b><i> </i></b><br /> In the rugged Pacific Northwest lies the Olympic National Forest—nearly a million acres of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past.<br />  <br /> Having retreated to her western Washington hometown after a scandal left her career in ruins, child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates is determined to free the extraordinary little girl she calls Alice from a prison of unimaginable fear and isolation. To reach her, Julia must discover the truth about Alice’s past—although doing so requires help from Julia’s estranged sister, a local police officer. The shocking facts of Alice’s life test the limits of Julia’s faith and strength, even as she struggles to make a home for Alice—and for herself.<br />  <br /> <b>“One of [Kristin Hannah’s] most compelling and riveting novels.”—<i>Booklist</i></b>
