    About this audiobook

    In Cathy Lamb's gripping and thought-provoking novel, a woman whose memory is shattered must piece together her husband's secrets-and reevaluate her life, love, and relationships.When Natalie Shelton thinks back to how things were before the car accident, she remembers a great marriage. She and her husband, Zack, seem as strong and dependable together as the houses he builds. They live in Portland, Oregon, and Natalie is co-owner of a successful accounting firm. They're happy, she's almost sure of it. Yet as Natalie lies trapped in a coma, unable to communicate though aware of everything around her, she realizes that her husband is hiding something. Zack has always been reticent about his past, which she attributed to an unhappy childhood. Now the strange calls he's receiving, the apologies when he thinks she can't hear him, and her fragmented memories from the morning of the accident suggest a deeper secret. When she finally awakens, Natalie is determined to find out the truth. Sorting through clues as her brain heals, she realizes she has a rare opportunity-to reexamine the life she's made and the man she's made it with. But as answers come to light, she faces surprising, heartrending decisions, as well as a danger that could upend her world once again, as Zack's past finally catches up with them.

      Suspenseful and interesting.
    • 2/5
      It's like Cathy had a list of all the things she wanted to include in her story, great sex, beautiful, talented women & men, drama, acceptance of disabilities, artistic ability and put it in her book. Pretty big holes in her story sometimes, but I read it because it was recommended as a new book and once I started, I wanted to know the secrets.
    • 5/5
      I love Cathy Lamb's book and this is one of her best. I loved the characters, the plot, the location - I loved it all. It made me laugh and it made me cry and it taught me how life could be after brain damage and how difficult it is to recover. Natalie is in love with her husband when she finds out that he is keeping a major secret from her. As she drives to work that morning, she is in a tragic car accident and ends up in a coma. The doctors don't think that she'll recover but her husband and father never leave her side. She can hear everything that is said while she is in her coma but is unable to respond. During this part of the book, we learn about her history, her best friends and her marriage to her husband. Once she wakes up, she goes into rehab with other people with brain damage where we meet a whole array of people with brain injuries. Natalie still can't remember what Zack's secret is but she knows there is a problem. Will she ever remember and will it affect her life with Zack?If you like books with great characters, an intriguing plot, a few laughs and a lot of love - this is the book for you!Thanks to net galley for a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own.
