Everything She Forgot by Lisa Ballantyne


  
  Some things aren't meant to be remembered...Margaret Holloway was told this as a child.  Margaret Holloway was one of two deputy teachers at Byron Academy, and the only woman on the senior management team.
     As Margaret was driving home, she had her mind elsewhere, on a troubled student, her daughter's acting class, the next day's meeting when she rear-ended another vehicle and was trapped in her car.  The news was calling it the worst pileup in London history.
     Margaret is trapped in her car while other vehicles are piling up on the road behind her.  She tries to get out of the car but finds that she is trapped. Just as she begins to panic, a disfigured stranger pulls her from the car seconds before it's engulfed in flames.  After he has broken the window out and helped Margaret get as far away from the flames as possible, he simply disappears without a word.
     Margaret escapes with minor injuries, but she feels that something's wrong.  She's having trouble concentrating. She's having flashbacks to the crash and also dredging up lost memories from her childhood.  Whatever happened when she was a child, she chose to forget. Somehow, Margaret knows deep down that it has something to do with the man who saved her life. Margaret uncovers a mystery with chilling implications for her family and her very own identity.
      Everything She Forgot is a great mystery with a surprise ending that will keep you reading and guessing until the end.
