Award-winning author Kristin Hannah creates her most spellbinding and compelling novel yet…a passionate tale of obsession, redemption, and the magic of true love.
She doesn’t remember who she is or how she came to the mansion on the isolated Maine coast. Lost in a strange world filled with even stranger faces, Selena finds comfort in a man whose eyes reflect her own aloneness.
He is Ian Carrick, a brilliant physician turned recluse, hiding from life in the anonymity of this small sanctuary, haunted by a telepathic gift that has destroyed his desire to heal.
Selena comes to him, the only person he’s ever met who is immune to his psychic powers. A mesmerizing innocent, she turns his life upside down, bringing light into the darkness and laughter into the silence. For her, he begins to believe in life again, to believe in himself. And then a mysterious figure from the past arrives, threatening to destroy their glorious love and the fantasy world they have created together….

I've never read a Kristin Hannah book before. This is my first—but certainly not my last. I used to have a dream about being washed ashore on as a stranger, so when I saw it was the premise for this book, I bought it. But this story took me places my dream never did. The clear cut characters and the sense of place and time were well done. And the story, oh the story was wonderful, never once taking the expected turn. Thanks you, KH, for such a engrossing novel. On to reading the rest of your gazillion books.
