Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah

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 uncover the truth about Alice’s past—though doing so requires help from her 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 build a home for Alice, and for herself.

Praised by Booklist as “one of [Kristin Hannah’s] most compelling and riveting novels,” this is a book that lingers long after the final page.

Here’s the thing about this one: it’s the perfect companion for a foggy afternoon in the cove. Wrap yourself in a blanket, let the sea air do its thing, and disappear into a mystery about love, family, and the fierce hope that pulls us home.

A moving discovery for readers who love emotionally rich, character-driven fiction. Come browse. This one’s waiting on the shelf for you.
