Publisher's summary

Victoria Barnett has it all: a great career as a nurse practitioner, a handsome and loving husband, a beautiful home in the suburbs, and a plan to fill it with children. Life is perfect—or so it seems. Then she’s in a terrible accident...and everything falls apart. Now Victoria is unable to walk. She can’t feed or dress herself. She can’t even speak. She is confined to the top floor of her house with 24-hour care.

Sylvia Robinson is hired by Victoria’s husband to help care for her. But it turns out Victoria isn’t as impaired as Sylvia was led to believe. There’s a story Victoria desperately wants to tell...if only she could get the words out. Then Sylvia discovers Victoria’s diary hidden away in a drawer. And what’s inside is shocking.

Twisty!

Great plot, great narration, great twists. I stayed up way past my bedtime to see if my suspicions were true! This is my second Frieda McFadden book and I’m hooked. Looking forward to her next!

Great Twist

Second book I’ve listened to and great. Her protagonist always have a richness that is unmatched. I also love most of her books are one shots. I get so exhausted listening to authors who have to write series. I love meeting someone new each time I enter a new book. Thank you and keep up the great work!

This was my first Freida McFadden book, but it won’t be my last. You think you know, then welllll maybe not, then maybe. It flows and is not say to read. Looking forward to more.

Worth the credit!

The story was never dull. The performance was so good. The twists and turns were great! Definitely worth a credit if you like psychological thrillers!
