The night was always Abby Whitman's enemy. As a young girl she walked in her sleep, and one night, she started a fire that scarred her sister for life and left Abby with unbearable guilt . . . and a loneliness that echoes within her. Now Abby has begun blacking out again—with apparently fatal results. A car accident has killed the son of a prominent family. Even though the evidence seems to exonerate her, Abby is plagued by doubts—and soon by mysterious threats. Psychiatrist Dr. Jason Coble is intrigued by Abby and offers to help her explore the dark recesses of her mind. Through this terrifying journey, Jason's interest turns to passion, and he yearns to give her the love she craves. But first, Abby must trust him—and shed light on secrets that will rock this Southern town and reveal a danger that threatens them both.
Susan Crandall makes her home in Noblesville, Indiana. This is her eighth novel.
At age eleven, Abby Whitman woke to discover that she had started a fire in her sleep, and the consequences of that night continue to haunt her to this day. Abby hasn't sleepwalked in years, but the death of her mother sparks a relapse. It isn't long before she wakes up in an unimaginable nightmare, slumped over the steering wheel of her car with a motorcycle overturned nearby. Abby is devastated that her sickness led her to hurt someone again, but she discovers that the accident might not be as clear-cut as it seemed. She begins to receive mysterious phone calls and threatening notes, warning her not to tell anyone the truth about the crash. If only Abby could remember what happened, but the whole incident is locked within the hazy memory of her dreams. She turns to the local psychiatrist, Dr. Jason Coble, for advice, and they find comfort in one another's arms. However, whoever is connected to the crash will not stop until they are certain their secret is safe, and Abby soon realizes that she can trust no one until she finds out what happened that horrible night.
