Everything She Forgot

by Lisa Ballantyne

Synopsis:

cover

Driving home, Margaret Holloway is rear-ended and trapped in the wreckage of her car. Just as she begins to panic, a stranger pulls her free and disappears. Though she escapes with minor injuries, Margaret feels that something's wrong. Flashbacks to the crash are dredging up lost associations from her childhood. And somehow, Margaret knows that it's got something to do with the man who saved her life. As Margaret uncovers a mystery with chilling implications for her family and her very identity, Everything She Forgot winds through a riveting dual narrative and asks the question: How far would you go to hide the truth-from yourself?

My thoughts...

Start with memory loss from a childhood trauma that turns into an accidental kidnapping and you have an interesting read. The author has well defined characters and a paced storyline that is more dramatic than suspenseful. There is a slow start but keep reading, it gets better with each page and throughout it made me stop and think about who we really are. Pretty good book.

I received a copy of this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

GIVEAWAY:
 Three copies to three USA readers.  

The publisher will choose the winners.
