Imagine, if you will, that you have been taken away to another country and forced to live in an isolated cabin in a small beach town where you don't know anyone.  You've essentially been kidnapped, but the person who took you swears that they are isolating you to protect you.  To make matters even worse, you can't recall enough about what happened before you left the country to know for sure. All you truly know is that your ex-boyfriend was attacked, later died, and the person who whisked you away says that many people believe you are to blame.  This is Evie's life.  Though Evie isn't even her real name.  Nor is her "Uncle Jim" really her uncle -- or named Jim, for that matter.  Her real name is Kate Bennett and she is doing her best to piece together her memories of what actually happened.  

Perhaps other readers will figure things out more quickly than me, but I was shocked when I finally realized that my assumption of Jim's identity and his motives had been so wrong for so long.  Aside from the twists and turns of the story itself, this book also included some fascinating information about post traumatic stress, how memories are made, and how the mind can be manipulated.  

Happy Reading!
