Amelia Tobias wakes up in the hospital after a car accident in Fort Lauderdale. She does not have any real memory except her first name. She remembers a man at the accident but since she cannot remember anything else, she does not know if it was her husband. She escapes the hospital, pawns her ring, and takes the first bus out of town. With no one to trust, she goes on the run. She arrives in Brunswick, Georgia and gets off the bus. She eats in a diner and asks the waitress for recommendations on a hotel. Since it is a small town, the only option is a rooming house. Her husband, Alex, hires a private detective/skip tracer to find her. She remembers her dog and calls the pet spa. That is the mistake the detective needs to find her. Now she is running again.

The book has a very fast pace, the characters are very developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. This is great mystery with strong women characters.
