Coming of Age

Paperback (Simon & Schuster UK June 1, 2004)
When her mother is killed in a riding accident, nine-year-old Amy is left mute and traumatized. She was there, but she cannot remember what happened and is haunted by a nightmare that she cannot fully explain. Gradually her voice returns, but not her memory. As Amy turns 16, the chance discovery of a hidden postcard gives her the vital clue she needs to uncover the truth about the past. It takes her to Italy, to a man she has never met—was he her mother's lover or her killer? The threads of the past lead back to the present, and Amy gradually remembers those horrific moments she thought were forever buried.
