Description

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

Excellent ! Another great KH book
If you like cheesy love stories and inaccurate medical takes, this is for you.

Incredibly lazy storyline. Had the potential to be so good! The focus on the love stories completely ruined it. So cliche, and brought nothing of value. Why do people need to have sex before they even know each other’s middle name? That isn’t love and it makes me sad that you think that’s a nice love story. As a doctor I can’t believe this was approved by any medical professional.
Loved it!

Not my usual genre, but a nice read. Definitely worth the time and wholly satisfying in the end.
All the feels…

What an emotional roller coaster! I became attached to the characters immediately. Laughing, cheering, and crying with them. This brought me out of a book funk I’d been in for a while, and reminded me there are still heartfelt, engaging stories to be read.
Mislabeled

If BookBub had labeled this book correctly I would have passed it by because it’s not a genre I would ever choose to read. Can’t even say Chick Lit because it’s not literature, it’s a romance novel and I felt duped. This was my first and last book by this author.
Could not stop reading!!!!
