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 Review: fantastic !!! - As ever Kristin Hanna delivers a heart warming story beautifully written - working my way through her list of books - so far not disappointed with any of them :-) Review: Touching - This is a wonderful book. Hannah is a fantastic storyteller and creates rich characters. This was a real page-turner, although, my personal favorite is still "The Four Winds".

Hauntingly Beautiful Story
Magic Hour is a deeply emotional and beautifully written novel. The story of a mysterious child found in the woods and the psychologist determined to help her unfolds with heart and depth. Kristin Hannah masterfully explores themes of trauma, healing, and the resilience of the human spirit. The bond that forms between the characters feels authentic and touching, and the small-town setting adds a lovely, intimate atmosphere. Pro: The emotional depth and character development are truly standout — you’ll find yourself completely invested in their journeys. Con: The beginning of the book moves a bit slowly, and it takes some time for the story to really hook you. But once it does, it’s hard to put down. Overall: A powerful and heartwarming novel that lingers with you long after the last page. Worth the read, especially if you enjoy character-driven stories with emotional complexity.

Magic
This is the first book I've read by Kristin Hannah and it will not be last. After reading some of the reviews I must admit that I was in two minds whether to purchase this book. I'm glad I did. The book drew me in immediately and emerged me into the lives of Julia, Ellie & Alice. The story holds you to its conclusion & never wavers as some books do. Highly recommended.

Wunderschönes Buch...
Es ist mein drittes Buch von Kristin Hannah und ich war wieder begeistert... Die Geschichte reißt einen mit, man möchte das Buch nicht mehr aus der Hand legen. Spannend und tiefsinnig und ein bisschen Liebe auch :-) Die Charaktere sind sympathisch, die Story fesselnd... Bei diesem Buch kann man nichts falsch machen!
