*In Cathy Lamb's gripping and thought-provoking novel, a woman whose
memory is shattered must piece together her husband's secrets--and
reevaluate her life, love, and relationships . . .
*
When Natalie Shelton thinks back to how things were before the car
accident, she remembers a great marriage. She and her husband, Zack,
seem as strong and dependable together as the houses he builds. They
live in Portland, Oregon, and Natalie is co-owner of a successful
accounting firm. They're happy, she's almost sure of it.
Yet as Natalie lies trapped in a coma, unable to communicate though
aware of everything around her, she realizes that her husband is hiding
something. Zack has always been reticent about his past, which she
attributed to an unhappy childhood. Now the strange calls he's
receiving, the apologies when he thinks she can't hear him, and her
fragmented memories from the morning of the accident suggest a deeper
secret.
When she finally awakens, Natalie is determined to find out the truth.
Sorting through clues as her brain heals, she realizes she has a rare
opportunity--to reexamine the life she's made and the man she's made it
with. But as answers come to light, she faces surprising, heartrending
decisions, as well as a danger that could upend her world once again, as
Zack's past finally catches up with them . . .
