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: I agree with some of the criticisms but it's still a captivating story - I read this in a day; it was that absorbing. I understand the criticisms made by reviewers who gave the novel 2 and 3 stars. But it was still a heck of a good story. I was curious to know whether I was the only reader who found the end similar to the end of Avery Corman's novel Kramer Versus Kramer, written nearly 50 years ago. I didn't see any reviews mentioning that similarity. It's only been recently that I discovered Kristin Hannah, and after having read this, Comfort and Joy, Distant Shores, The Things We Do for Love, On Mystic Lake, and Angel Falls this year, I plan to keep reading until I've read the other 10 or so novels that still await! Magic Hour isn't a "perfect" novel but it's entertaining and thought-provoking. I'm glad I read it. Review: Good, sad - The ending of this is very emotional. Wouldn’t say it’s her best book but definitely a good choice if you like the author ## Features - First Paperback Edition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,382 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #20 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #40 in Contemporary Women Fiction #151 in Women's Domestic Life Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 56,971 Reviews | ## Images ![Magic Hour: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-3qQeP3UL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I agree with some of the criticisms but it's still a captivating story *by C***S on December 30, 2025* I read this in a day; it was that absorbing.

Wouldn’t say it’s her best book but definitely a good choice if you like the author ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable and emotional tale! *by J***A on June 1, 2026* Magic Hour is a beautifully told story about a little girl with a wolf cub who comes out of the woods one day to civilization. The main characters, Dr. Julia Cates, a psychiatrist, her sister, Ellie who is the police chief, take the little girl home to care for her. Julia has had a traumatic case before in her life and wants to succeed with this little wild child who doesn’t speak and acts like the wolf that she carried. This is an emotionally charged story of how the child, now known as Alice, learns how to be human again with the aid of Julia. No one comes forward to claim this lost child and the story chronicles how the child is learning and acclimating to her new life. I felt the emotions Alice felt and how difficult it was for her to adjust and forget about what happened to her during her young life. Kristin Hannah does it again with this unforgettable story of love being strong enough to overcome the most difficult circumstances. An unforgettable story that touches the heartstrings. I highly recommend this emotional tale. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/8199110-magic-hour-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.at/products/8199110-magic-hour-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
