Land Of The Living Storyline:A horrifying premise
catalyzes this fast-paced, suspenseful thriller: A woman wakes up in a
darkened room, bound, disoriented, unable to recall the recent past. She
is terrorized and abused by a strange man who taunts her with the names
of other victims. But for Abbie Devereaux, a 25-year-old Londoner, the
nightmare really begins after she escapes. Recovering in a local
hospital, she must confront the fact that no one believes her story. Her
doctors think it's all a fantasy, "a cry for help." Det. Insp. Jack
Cross can't find a crime scene. And when Abbie's well enough to go home,
she discovers that her life-her job designing office interiors; her
boyfriend, Terry; the flat they shared-has been destroyed, but she
hasn't a clue as to how or why. Has she had a breakdown? Is she still in
danger from the kidnapper? The bulk of the novel is about Abbie's
inventive efforts to reconstruct her life and discover what really
happened to her.
Alice I have Been Storyline:
Alice Liddell
Hargreaves’s life has been a richly woven tapestry: As a young woman,
wife, mother, and widow, she’s experienced intense passion, great
privilege, and greater tragedy. But as she nears her eighty-first
birthday, she knows that, to the world around her, she is and will
always be only “Alice.” Her life was permanently dog-eared at one
fateful moment in her tenth year–the golden summer day she urged a
grown-up friend to write down one of his fanciful stories. That
story, a wild tale of rabbits, queens, and a precocious young child,
becomes a sensation the world over. Its author, a shy, stuttering Oxford
professor, does more than immortalize Alice–he changes her life
forever. But even he cannot stop time, as much as he might like to. And
as Alice’s childhood slips away, a peacetime of glittering balls and
royal romances gives way to the urgent tide of war. For Alice,
the stakes could not be higher, for she is the mother of three grown
sons, soldiers all. Yet even as she stands to lose everything she
treasures, one part of her will always be the determined, undaunted
Alice of the story, who discovered that life beyond the rabbit hole was
an astonishing journey.
