ALICE FEENEYS NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “Boldly plotted, tightly knotted—a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous.” —AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

A simple jeep accident and the end to a military career, enough to send a man into a permanent funk. A San Diego beach town proves to be a poor place to lick the wounds of battle and career loss. If the resident zanies are not enough, there are the rotating tourists who rent for a week. Among them, Lia, the beautiful Brazilian temptress, a giddy sorority and Howard Grout, who's in tiles. It's no wonder Choppy's psychiatrist sees his progress as slow, at best, and why Choppy does not share with him the incidents of confrontation which seem to occur all too frequently. Much like the beach culture itself, the women in Choppy's life range from the erratic to the illusive. But even romance can't be simple for Choppy Spencer and the danger to the women becomes one more test of his own courage.

When the Rapture occurs, the entire world will be in a state of panic. The ones left who will have the answers to what is really happening, according to the Bible, will be the ones preoccupied with their own challenges and not so eager to explain what they know out of fear of being captured, persecuted, or executed for their faith in God. Christians will turn into a self–sufficient society because of an inability to buy, sell, or trade, which will result from them refusing the 666 Mark of the Beast. The government will become so big that most people will depend on it and will blame the chaos on the disappearances of Christians. That will fuel the hatred of the ungodly toward the Christians...
