Waiting for the Moon: A Novel
by Kristin Hannah
This early book from the mega-bestselling author Kristin Hannah is a historical romance set in 19th-century Maine with a paranormal twist. A celebrated surgeon’s career has been upturned after a near-death experience left him with psychic powers of extreme empathy. But a grieviously injured young woman, found at the foot of a cliff, seems to be immune. Publisher’s Weekly described it at the time of publication in 1995 as a “story of sugary Sturm and romantic Drang.”
