"I read this in a day; it was that absorbing. I understand the criticisms made by reviewers who gave the novel 2 and 3 stars. But it was still a heck of a good story. I was curious to know whether I was the only reader who found the end similar to the end of Avery Corman's novel Kramer Versus Kramer, written nearly 50 years ago. I didn't see any reviews mentioning that similarity. It's only been recently that I discovered Kristin Hannah, and after having read this, Comfort and Joy, Distant Shores, The Things We Do for Love, On Mystic Lake, and Angel Falls this year, I plan to keep reading until I've read the other 10 or so novels that still await! Magic Hour isn't a "perfect" novel but it's entertaining and thought-provoking. I'm glad I read it." - Amazon Customer Reviews

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Women comes an incandescent story about the resilience of the human spirit, the triumph of hope, and the meaning of home.

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.

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.

“One of [Kristin Hannah’s] most compelling and riveting novels.”—Booklist
