From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone 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 … 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.

Another good novel by Kristin Hannah

/This is another wonderful book by Hannah. The characters are so interesting and true to life.

Hannah, I highly reccomend this book.
Absolutely one of the best books ever. I am not a crier, but cry I did! Loved it, loved it. You go, Kristin!

This author usually tackles some pretty deep subjects. I was a bit let down in the content, but still a good read.
Kristin always develops characters you care about in such interesting situations. Always worth the read!
