Everything She Forgot: A Novel

From an Edgar Award finalist: “[An] absorbing psychological thriller . . . a fine tale of family drama, dark secrets, and the past’s effect on the present.” —Publishers Weekly

Margaret Holloway is driving home, but her mind is elsewhere—on a troubled student, her daughter’s acting class, the next day’s meeting—when she’s rear-ended and trapped in the wreckage of what may be the worst pileup in London history. Just as she begins to panic, a disfigured stranger pulls her from the car seconds before it’s engulfed in flames. Then he simply disappears.

Though she escapes with minor injuries, Margaret feels that something’s wrong. She’s having trouble concentrating. Her emotions are running wild. More than that, flashbacks to the crash are also dredging up lost associations from her childhood, fragments of events that had been wiped from her memory. Whatever happened, she didn’t merely forget—she chose to forget. And somehow, Margaret knows deep down that it has something to do with the man who saved her life.

As Margaret uncovers a mystery with chilling implications for her family and her very identity, this suspenseful thriller with “a living, beating heart” (The New York Times) asks the question: How far would you go to hide the truth—from yourself?

“A moving and sensitive mystery about childhood trauma and its resolution.” —Booklist
