DON’T LOOK FOR ME
BY WENDY WALKER
Molly Clarke’s husband is increasingly distant. Is he having an affair?
Molly’s son Evan is embarrassed by her and ignores her.
Molly’s daughter Nicole screams, “I hate you!”
Molly’s daughter Annie is dead. Hit by the car driven by Molly. She killed her daughter. She can’t get past it, and neither can her family.
It was an accident, but Molly can’t get over the guilt, and her family is falling apart. She knows they all blame her, so maybe they’ll just be better off without her. She decides to disappear. And before she knows it, she has. But not the way she expected.
Author Wendy Walker has written a psychological thriller so fascinating that I could barely put it down. With enough suspense to keep you wondering what’s going to happen, she also captures the pain and self-torture that family members go through when a child dies accidentally and unexpectedly. There are plenty of heartbreaking as well as heart-pounding moments in Don’t Look for Me. There are also depictions of loss in many forms, and how those losses manifest within the hearts and souls of those who bear them.
