She believes what she’s been told. But the truth is a whole ’nother story. . .
I can’t recall the life I had before the accident. So for now I have to make do with this place, these people. This version of myself. Chloe. Whoever that is…
She wakes up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. No idea who the people are who call themselves her family. No sense of who she is—or was. But once Chloe Daniels returns to her childhood home, she slowly starts to piece together the details of her life. A house by the sea. A successful career. The car crash that caused her to lose it all...
Chloe’s loved ones tell her that they want what’s best for her. So does her therapist. But how can she put her trust in those she does not know? And why are certain details from others’ stories about who Chloe is, and what really happened to her, not adding up? Chloe has a deep, visceral sense that someone is lying to her, that there is a world of dark secrets she cannot access—yet. The person she used to be may be gone. But the new Chloe will stop at nothing in her quest to find the truth...even if it kills her.
A page-turning novel of psychological suspense, Between the Lies will have you questioning everything and everyone until its stunning climax.
Michelle Adams Between the Lines asks the question, what would you do if you woke up in a hospital with no memories of who you are, how you got here, or if the people around you are actually who they claim to be? Are they really trying to help you, or could something even more sinister be going on? Are there things going on that we should be looking for as the author slowly unravels Chloe Daniel's life before and after her accident, or is it all an attempt to send you down a road with no answers?
As Chloe recovers from the trauma, both physically and mentally,
she starts to remember bits and pieces of her life, faded memories of
events and people, as well as glimpses into the person she was before
the accident. She knows little about
her past - just that she was in a serious car accident that took the
life of her son, a car accident still under investigation by the police. Her father claims he only wants to help her, but yet he uses some treatment options that one could say is highly unprofessional.
No spoiler by saying that no one should go through what Chloe does in regards to her so called family. Treated like a prisoner supposedly in her own home, heartbroken to learn that she lost her son during the accident, Chloe begins her own road to recovery and answers. As Chloe gets closer to uncovering the truth, it might also mean
putting herself back in harm’s way. Was it really an accident? Can she really trust the parents who seem so intent on changing the narrative to what they want her to believe about her life before the crash? Can she trust the doctor who enters her life and seems to have a familiarity to him?
This isn't the first story I've read where the character wakes up in the hospital without any memories of who they were before the accident, probably won't be the last. I would never wish this on anyone, let alone those who have crossed my path and stabbed me in the back. It's horrible to watch Chloe struggle with regaining parts of her lost, including a son who she obviously loved very much. But, Chloe isn't a likable character and no, I won't discuss why for this would mean spoiling part of the story. Let's just say that sometimes make mistakes, and sometimes, those mistakes come back to haunt you.
