This psychological thriller is a gripping page-turner from the very beginning, keeping you fully engrossed and wondering what happens next until the final page. And by final page, we mean the epilogue.
The author uses her intimate knowledge of Fort Pierce, Florida as the stage for describing an unthinkable story that crossed the boundaries between love, obsession, and survival. This story follows Chelsea Whitlock from the time she was raped at age 11 by an unidentifiable stranger (a purple ribbon was left in her hair), her maturation into a young adult, her career, her love life and ultimately having a child of her own with a man she deeply loves.
And in parallel is another character, J. Scott Anderson, a man with a successful career and a seemingly perfect family life who is revealed to suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
This book explores the long-term impact of trauma, the complexity of memory, and the “ripple effect” of secrets. Lyman’s background in child advocacy shines through, adding a layer of heartbreaking authenticity to a story that will keep you fully engrossed until the final, shocking revelation.
This is Lyman’s debut novel; we want more please. As fast as you can write them.
