Publisher Description
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 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

So sweet
Such a sweet story!!
The narrator ruined it
I wish I had read this book instead of listening to it, I think I would have liked it in my own head. The narrator sounded like an 80 year old woman and made things sound so cheesy, I was embarrassed several times during the book 😬. The narrator has an eloquent voice and it be the well spoken, she just wasn’t right for this book
Good story - iffy narrator
I think I would have liked it more if the narrator was different. Didn’t care for how she read the characters. Often her tone didn’t match what was happening in the book.
