Amnesia

I have had a couple incidents with amnesia lately. I haven't personally had amnesia, although I can't say I'm not a forgetful person. Rather, I both read a book and watched a movie dealing with somebody who had a blow to the head that caused temporary memory loss.
Here, I'm going to focus on the book. Forget Me Not is quite a thriller with a twisted plot and an intricate web of connections. As you read, the plot unwinds and parts of the web are revealed.
A woman is running...you don't know from what, and she doesn't even completely know, but she lives her life running from something, somebody, some group of people. She has lived that way for a few years and is getting tired of picking up and going. Through it all, though, she is helping others by creating safe places for them to go and get help. Until one day, she is caught. She wakes up barely alive, not knowing who she is or where she is.
All she has are hunches, feelings that tell her what to stay away from. Somehow she seems to have escaped, or actually, it is more like she was let go by her captors. As she recovers at a crisis center, she starts remembering pieces and her past comes back to haunt her, the things she was running from catch up to her, and she has to face them. Only by the grace of God does she stand a chance.
This book is a captivating mystery novel that weaves faith into fiction. It kept me interested and wanting to read more and more. I would recommend it for anybody who likes this genre or anybody who would be willing to give it a try.
