The story ends with a car crash. Two women, both maimed, their long blonde hair matted with blood. It begins with one woman waking up, in an unfamiliar hospital bed. Bright lights, nurses...and handcuffs. She is told her name is Reeta Doe, and that she’s been in an accident. She is in Florida. The FBI have been following her since Mississippi. And she has brutally murdered two women—college girls, who look just like her. Two more are missing, and one survived. But Reeta remembers nothing. She can't answer the questions. All the things they want her to explain are no more familiar to her than the prison she is taken to.

This astonishing debut crime novel features an unforgettable character at its heart. Perfect for fans of the novels Girl A and The Girls.

Book Description
The Light We Lost mixes with a touch of Daisy Jones and the Six in this novel of first love, passion, and the power of choice--and how we cannot escape the people we are meant to be. Two loves. Two choices. One chance to follow her dreams. Emily has come a long way since she lost her two passions fifteen years ago: music, and Rob. She's a psychologist at NYU who helps troubled college students like the one she once was. Together with her caring doctor husband, Ezra, she has a beautiful life. They're happy. They hope to start a family. But when a tragic event in Emily's present too closely echoes her past, and parts of her story that she'd hoped never to share come to light, her perfect life is suddenly upturned. Then Emily hears a song on the radio about the woman who got away. The melody and voice are hauntingly familiar. Could it be? As Emily's past passions come roaring back into her life, she'll find herself asking: Who is she meant to be? Who is she meant to love?

Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
Author and relationship coach Tonja Evetts Weimer offers readers a grounded approach to growing through the difficult life transitions that arise from the breaking of our most defining partnerships. The end of a significant relationship initiates painful and powerful change in one's life, daily habits, and even in one's personal identity. Tonja Evetts Weimer's book will guide readers through a potentially tumultuous time to a safe place by showing how to put one's actions in alignment with one's needs and values for positive outcomes that will strengthen and prepare the heart for a new path. The key is in learning how to create an authentic new life, and therefore, a different relationship with the partner in the absence of shared romantic love. This relationship allows the possibility of any continuing combined goals, while building and sustaining necessary boundaries and guidelines for new interactions. Weimer shows readers how to deal with shared responsibilities involving children, mutual business interests, the care of family members, and other situations that require both parties to work together in the new space of the relationship. Thriving After Divorce speaks to anyone who has gone through a breakup, providing hope, alternatives, empowerment, and inspiration to find a new way to relate to former situations and relationships that, in the past, could have been fractious.
