Synopsis

When my mother named me Ophelia, she thought she was being literary. She didn't realize she was being tragic.


On the surface, Annie Powers's life in a wealthy Floridian suburb is happy and idyllic. Her husband, Gray, loves her fiercely; together, they dote on their beautiful young daughter, Victory. But the bubble surrounding Annie is pricked when she senses that the demons of her past have resurfaced and, to her horror, are now creeping up on her. These are demons she can't fully recall because of a highly dissociative state that allowed her to forget the tragic and violent episodes of her earlier life as Ophelia March and to start over, under the loving and protective eye of Gray, as Annie Powers. Disturbing events—the appearance of a familiar dark figure on the beach, the mysterious murder of her psychologist—trigger strange and confusing memories for Annie, who realizes she has to quickly piece them together before her past comes to claim her future and her daughter.

BookLender review by Jodi on 2009-05-07 15:19:18

This book really had me going until just about half way through. It started to get confusing and ended up so much so that it made me just plain mad. I usually like to read and have it all fall together in the end but this had me asking unanswered questions. There's nothing worse than reading a book and wishing you hadn't when you reach the last page.
