Book Overview

A spellbinding tale of contemporary suspense that begins with a mysterious homecoming and ends in a shattering explosion of passion, greed, and murder. And all because a stranger says her name is... Amanda. Others have claimed to be Amanda Daulton, but now a beautiful, self-assured woman has stepped out of the shadows of the past, insisting she's the missing heiress to a multimillion-dollar fortune. One look is all it takes to assure the family patriarch that she's his beloved granddaughter. But others at the magnificent Southern mansion called Glory are not as easily convinced, others with much to lose from her sudden reappearance. Soon suspicion erupts in a chilling attempt on her life, and after the traumatic ordeal, she begins to have flashes of a nightmarish vision. What, if anything, happened twenty years ago to drive a mother and her nine-year-old daughter away from their privileged life? The struggle to find the elusive answer exposes a frightening trail of secrets--a trail that leads shockingly to the present and to the enigmatic woman who calls herself... Amanda.

Keeps you guessing

Amanda is a wonderful story, full of colorful characters and a quick plot. "Amanda" has returned home after 20 years when she and her mother left when she was a child. She cannot prove that she is the real Amanda, and her relatives are all sceptical. Amanda doesn't really care if they believe her or not. She just wants to know why her mother took her and ran so many years ago. Amanda must deal with an unexpected romantic intrest in her family's lawyer and her old friend, Walker. As she asks questions however horrible things begin to happen. A trainer at the stable is killed, Amanda is poisoned, and her protective dogs go missing, and she can only asume they have been taken. Amanda must find out why her mother took her and ran before it's too late.This was a very good book, that drew me in. The characters are interesting and the plot keeps you guessing. I've read it many times over the years, and if you like suspenseful romances you will too.

A Great Read

This book was the first book by Kay Hooper that I read, and it has made me seek out her other books since. _Amanda_ is a griping book that pulls you in from the first page. It is full of romance and mystery, making the book more than a simple bodice-ripper. It gives you a mystery to solve, wonder at what will happen next, and the growth of love along with it all. If you enjoy any kind of romance, suspense, or mystery book I think you will like this book.

A real page-turner!

It only took me 2 days to read this book, but that's because it's long. I think it was a really good book. It had suspense, drama, and romance all rolled into it. If you enjoy this book, you should read "After Caroline" by Kay Hooper. That one is just as good!!
