Late one night, an upset woman drives through a Virginia snowstorm. With bright headlights behind her, she believes someone is following her until, suddenly, she is forced to the wrong side of the road. As she veers back into the right lane, the truck pulls alongside and she can see the driver pointing a gun at her. They’re both headed for a bridge, one too narrow to accommodate both vehicles.
Too late she realizes she’s being forced off the road . . . and into the icy water. Confused when hands grab her, she hears a deep voice speaking words she can't quite hear. A warning in her head suggests she keep hiding, so she surrenders to the welcoming blackness.
And when she awakens, she has no memory of what happened . . . or of her identity.
Who is she? Why did someone try to kill her? And is she safe now?

As Kay struggles to regain her memory, themes of trust, power, and family play a part in the telling of the tale as bits and pieces of her memory struggle to surface.
