Remember - Paperback

by Patricia Shanae Smith (Author)

A compelling psychological thriller about a young girl who is forced to confront her past demons after a mysterious new neighbour moves in next door.

Portia Willows was a high school senior in Los Angeles when a devastating car accident took the lives of her mother and sister. After their death, Portia's social anxiety grows worse. She and her father become heavily dependent on cigarettes and alcohol to cope with their grief.

The book starts five years in the future when she must confront her distorted memory of the past - Portia has committed a crime, and she can't remember it. As investigators close in, her fractured mind becomes a puzzle she must solve before it's too late. Then Ethan Torke moves in across the street. At first, he seems like a distraction, but soon, his presence forces Portia to confront a possibility that she would have never expected. The deeper she digs, the more the walls of her safe reality crumble. Sinister pasts are bound to be revealed; the truth always catches up, and fantasies never last.

An unforgettable tale of memory, love, and strength through the darkest of times, Remember announces a brave new voice in psychological suspense.
