There's no such thing as failure. You just find out what works and what doesn't. Move on. In the Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah, Dr. Julia Cates is publicly demonized because one of her patients shot up a school. Meanwhile, her sister, Ellie, has need of her. A "wolf child" has emerged from the woods. A little girl seems to have been brought up by wolves. She doesn't speak. She's feral.
Julia emersed herself in helping this child. The love interest is another doctor, Max. He has his own history. The two doctors help the little girl. Actually, the entire town helps her. It's a small town and they conspire against the media--they agree what to say and do.
Unfortunately, the girl's father turns up. It's a nightmare. Who will get custody?
The story is fascinating and interesting. I enjoyed the love story and the family dynamics. Parenthood is examined, as well as the relationship between sisters. Of course, the good overshadows the bad, as all Kristen Hannah's books prove.
