Description by Author:
Little by little, an amnesiac pieces together
the truth about her Southern family, her old life, and a friend’s murder, in
this engrossing novel of suspense.
Waking up with amnesia in an Atlanta
hospital, Cassie Barber-Davenport goes home to a life she doesn’t recognize.
She gradually learns that her associations with neo-Confederates and white
supremacists have left her estranged from her husband and alienated from her
children. Cassie no longer wants to embrace these views—but breaking away from
that world and from her wealthy Southern family is not so simple.
Meanwhile, she still suffers confusion and
disorientation—experiencing nightmares about an unknown Englishman; hearing
from her friend Marcie that she apparently had been having an affair; being
dismissed by the police after she’s awakened by a frightening phone call.
Then a body is found—and a series of
revelations brings Cassie’s past into shocking clarity . . .
About
the Author:
At
the age of seventeen, having been told by her English Literature teacher to sit
on her hands in lessons, as she spoke more eloquently with them than actual
words, Hilly decided to prove her wrong. It started with a bout of terrible
poetry and has finally culminated in the publication of her first novel. She is
also a painter and ceramicist, and has a lady-shed in the middle of an organic
fruit farm on a mountainside in southern Spain. She lives with her musician
partner and two rescue dogs.
