    About this audiobook

    Perpetual optimist Claire Harte-Mathias and her disabled husband, Jon, run a successful foundation to help people with spinal cord injuries. One night, Claire witnesses a woman leap to her death from a bridge, and the tragedy sparks murky childhood memories that leave her confused and frightened. As Claire becomes obsessed with trying to understand the power the haunting memories have over her, she's torn between blocking them from her mind entirely and trying to unearth their source. Putting both her marriage and self-image on the line, she struggles to uncover the truth, only to discover that the past, present, and future are connected in ways she never dreamed.

    • 4/5
      Claire Harte-Mathias and her husband Jon are driving home in a snowstorm when they encounter a woman about to jump off a bridge. Claire leaves the car to try to help the woman; Jon cannot because he uses a wheelchair. Following this encounter, Claire begins to have flashes of memories she may have been suppressing. Meanwhile, across the country, Dr. Vanessa Gray is trying to obtain funding for a program for adolescents who were abused as children, while struggling with the ramifications of her own childhood abuse. Although the revelations Claire is about to confront may seem pretty obvious to the careful reader, her own experience in remembering is very organic, and is only slightly spoiled by those around her who know what she has repressed. Also very realistic and genuine is the tumult her marriage goes through as she finds her husband unable to help her with this journey and instead turns to the brother of the woman she met on the bridge that night. Jon's disability is also a major factor in the story, as the couple run a foundation that funds programs for people with spinal cord injuries and counsels them and their loved ones on how to deal with these injuries.This is nominally fiction, marketed as a beach read, but those who work in the helping fields will probably find it most engaging.
