What Happened to Julia

By Rachel K. Pierce

Caroline Hayes wakes after a car crash with eight months of her life missing. She remembers her husband, her daughter, and the familiar houses of Hawthorn Lane. She remembers Julia Bennett too, her closest friend and neighbor. What she doesn't remember is that Julia is dead.

Seven weeks before Caroline's accident, Julia drowned in her own swimming pool. Caroline was the one who found her. Now she returns home to discover that her marriage had been falling apart, her teenage daughter is keeping something from her, and the entire neighborhood believes Caroline was having an affair with Julia's husband.

But the more Caroline learns about the woman she became during those missing months, the less the story makes sense. Ben denies the affair. Julia and Caroline had apparently become bitter enemies before her death. And someone on Hawthorn Lane seems determined to remind Caroline that she has forgotten far more than an accident.

Caroline knows the truth is somewhere inside the months she lost. The problem is that every new memory leaves her with a more frightening question: what really happened to Julia?
