Emily Morris got her happily-ever-after earlier than most. Married at a
young age to a man she loved passionately, she was building the life she
always wanted. But when enormous stress threatened her marriage, Emily
made some rash decisions. That's when she fell in love with someone
else. That's when she got pregnant.
Resolved to tell her husband of the affair and to leave him for the
father of her child, Emily's plans are thwarted when the world is
suddenly split open on 9/11. It's amid terrible tragedy that she finds
her freedom, as she leaves New York City to start a new life. It's not
easy, but Emily---now Connie Prynne―forges a new happily-ever-after in
California. But when a life-threatening diagnosis upends her life, she
is forced to rethink her life for the good of her thirteen-year-old
daughter.
A riveting debut in which a woman must confront her own past in order to
secure the future of her daughter, Kim Hooper's People Who Knew Me asks:
"What would you do?"
