The Stepchild by Joanne Fluke, 352 pages
“Kathi Ellison is an
English literature major at the University of California in Berkeley, living
with her boyfriend off-campus. She is also the daughter of a candidate for the
U.S. Senate and his wife, a role that could affect her life should her father
win the election. But before she can consider her future, Kathi must first
come to terms with her past. A car accident when she was four-years-old killed
her mother and left her in a coma for several days. The migraines and
nightmares that plagued her as a child have recently returned with a vengeance,
leaving her mind full of visions that feel more like memories. Memories
that are not her own. Memories of a frightened and traumatized child named
Sheri Walker. Memories linked to her mother's death that her stepmother doesn't
want her to remember . . .” This book was
completely creepy, even if it was somewhat predictable. The end felt almost inevitable. Still, it was a good story and people who
like thrillers and mysteries will enjoy it.
