From My Cold Dead Hands

Meer over het boek

Little by little, an amnesiac pieces together the truth about her Southern family, her old life, and a friend's murder, in this engrossing novel of suspense. Waking up with amnesia in an Atlanta hospital, Cassie Barber-Davenport goes home to a life she doesn't recognize. She gradually learns that her associations with neo-Confederates and white supremacists have left her estranged from her husband and alienated from her children. Cassie no longer wants to embrace these views--but breaking away from that world and from her wealthy Southern family is not so simple. Meanwhile, she still suffers confusion and disorientation--experiencing nightmares about an unknown Englishman; hearing from her friend Marcie that she apparently had been having an affair; being dismissed by the police after she's awakened by a frightening phone call. Then a body is found--and a series of revelations brings Cassie's past into shocking clarity . . .
