She had no children. She knew their names.
When Dianne Douglas wakes in a New York hospital after a riding accident, she is told the children she remembers do not exist. The doctors have a name for it - confabulation, a symptom of her brain injury. Her partner says the same. Everyone around her is calm, certain, and consistent.
They are all wrong.
Because Dianne knows their names. Amelia. Oliver. Six years old. And she knows, with a certainty that no medical explanation can reach, that they are somewhere she cannot find them - yet.
What follows takes her across an ocean to a quiet English village, to a dead woman's hidden documents, and into the edges of a conspiracy that has been operating in plain sight for decades. A detective who doesn't believe her. A partner who loves her but doubts her. A neighbour who has been keeping a box of things she couldn't bear to throw away. And a truth about who Dianne really is that will reframe everything - including why the memories found her in the first place.
Someone Else's Memory is a psychological thriller about identity, grief, and the love that crosses every distance. Even the one between life and death.
