Magic hour by Kristin Hannah
When preeminent child psychologist, Dr. Julia Cates finds herself at the wrong end of a scandal, she retreats to her small town family home in the Olympic Rain Forest where her younger sister Ellie is the chief of police. Not much happens in the sleepy town of Rain Valley until a young girl wanders out of the dense rain forest clinging to a snarling wolf pup. She cannot speak and there is nothing about her appearance that provides a clue to her origin. Having arrived hoping to escape notoriety, Cates is instead throw right back into it as news travels of this "wild child." Determined to find a way into the hidden world of the girl she calls Alice, she eventually accepts the help of the very private Dr. Max Cerrasin. But Julia herself has a complicated history with the town and her sister that affects her ability to gain back her reputation and her own self confidence. The ending seemed a little too wrapped up but a good read nonetheless.
