Hitchhiking and being picked up by an upstanding citizen was definitely pure luck for Cassandra.
The man who picked her up found her bleeding and dazed and without a memory of who she was or what happened to her.
A well-crafted psychological thriller with lots of surprises and a twist you can‘t imagine happening.

Review 5/21
1890 - We meet Annie who was sent to San Quentin on a false claim of grand larceny because her employer‘s nephew tricked her and denied he gave her the ring she was accused of stealing.
1972 - We meet Judy who takes on the task of finding herself and also finding out about Annie‘s life.
A marvelous read you won‘t be able to put down because of the characters, their stories, and especially if you are a fan of historical fiction. 5/5
“Releasing on June 4. Set against the backdrop of the lush tobacco fields of North Carolina, this story transports us to the 1950s, when the American South stood at the crossroads of tradition and change.”

FULL REVIEW MAY 14.
Did I cause Jamie‘s death?
Was he that distraught after we broke up that he killed himself after seeing me at the party?
He didn‘t seem upset, and we had a brief, cordial chat.
A few minutes after Jamie left the party, a gunshot is heard, and then a blaring horn.
THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM was told by Kiki, Jamie‘s ex-girlfriend, and was a bit slow, but a good mystery with a few surprises. P4/5
