The Name You Gave Me

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

What if your life wasn't your own… and neither was your name?

When her husband’s promotion brings Averie Hale back to the suburbs, she finally has the perfect life she dreamed of: a career she loves, a beautiful home, and a baby on the way. But caring for her mother as dementia advances is anything but simple—because Vera isn’t just losing memories. She’s been hiding a secret for decades, one that could shatter everything Averie believes about her family and herself.

Two houses down, nurse Wren Foster is fed up with her parents dodging every question about her adoption. Determined to uncover her roots, she digs into a past no one is willing to discuss—and unearths a terrifying truth. Only one woman holds the answers both Averie and Wren desperately need, but her mind is slipping fast. They must find the truth before memory erases it.

I live in sunny (and humid) North Queensland, Australia, with my furry editorial assistants, Ollie, and Angus (Shih tzu's) and their mortal feline enemies. When I'm not wrangling furry drama, I'm working in my day job. In my downtime, I try to spend quality time with my family, chill out watching Netflix, or reading something from my TBR list. My favourite reads are an eclectic mix of thrillers (obviously), romcoms, cosy mysteries, post-apocalyptic, and some horror. I have dabbled in romance and women's fiction in the past, but was always drawn to the twists of a good thriller.
