In this gripping prequel to the blockbuster best seller and Reese
Witherspoon Book Club pick The Last Mrs. Parrish, listeners will
discover exactly how Amber Patterson transformed from small-town girl to
master manipulator - after all, practice makes perfect.
Amber Patterson has many secrets. This much is clear when she sneaks out
of her home in the dead of night and hitchhikes across state lines to
meet up with a man she hasn't seen or spoken to since high school
graduation. So begins her desperate attempt to leave her old life
behind, and she'll use everything and everyone at her disposal, from
social media stalking to the kindness of unsuspecting strangers, to get
where she needs to go. It's not long before she's ready for the main
event: armed with a new identity and a new purpose, she heads to
Gunnison, Colorado, preparing herself to meet her future husband among
the wealthy vacationers.
Even the smallest misstep could derail this carefully-laid plan, and in
the end, can you even truly outrun your past? The First Shot is an
absorbing, binge-able thriller that shows just how far some will go to
build the lives they want.
