Synopsis

Haunted by her dreams. Kathi Ellison is an English literature major at the University of California in Berkeley, living with her boyfriend off-campus. She is also the daughter of a candidate for the U.S. Senate and his wife, a role that could affect her life should her father win the election. But before she can consider her future, Kathi must first come to terms with her past. A car accident when she was four-years-old killed her mother and left her in a coma for several days. The migraines and nightmares that plagued her as a child have recently returned with a vengeance, leaving her mind full of visions that feel more like memories. Memories that are not her own. Memories of a frightened and traumatized child named Sheri Walker. Memories linked to her mother's death that her stepmother doesn't want her to remember.

Goodreads review by Betty

A romantic suspense, it was written 1980. I didn't realize that this author has a number of suspense novels. While it was well written and the narrative flow smoothly, I was disappointed it was very predictable. I knew before I was very far into the book it was written earlier than the current time......more

Goodreads review by Paula

Bizarre, dumb fun in the way that only 80s horror/thriller novels can be! I actually read this on my Kindle, but it thankfully doesn't appear as though Fluke has done any updating, which I always find clumsy and distracting. So you can still get your 80s craziness here! Kathi Ellison is living with h......more
